About This Wine
The Black Stallion Estate Gaspare Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a distinguished wine hailing from the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, California.
It is characterized as an elegant and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, it typically presents alluring aromas of dark fruits such as blackberry and blueberry, often accompanied by notes of brown sugar, cedar, and sometimes hints of cassis, mocha, dark chocolate, black olives, and rosemary.
The palate delivers concentrated dark fruit flavors, with a ripe fruit sweetness. Reviewers note its full-bodied nature and well-structured profile. The tannins are generally described as robust and velvety, though some find them firm and suggest the wine will benefit from further aging. It's often highlighted for its balance and a long finish, sometimes with notes of kirsch, espresso, or an earthy impression.
Several critics have pointed to its potential for aging, with optimal drinking windows suggested from around 2028 to 2040 by some. Overall, it's considered a tempting, concentrated, and well-made wine that reflects the character of its vineyard and the Napa Valley.
