The Story
An inky purple hue, the wine offers fragrant aromas of ripe, brambly berries and plums, edged in notes of walnut husk and cedar. The palate explodes with intense flavors of redcurrant and cherry, fanning out in a broad, silky wave that mingles vibrant fruit flavors with accents of espresso, chocolate and graphite, and lingers on the long finish.

There is a lovely perfume underneath the densely packed black fruit with layers of spices, tobacco leaves, cedar, licorice, volcanic earth and crushed stones. The full-bodied palate offers fine-tuned tannins, bright acidity and a mouthwatering, refreshing finish. Tasted after five years in the bottle and drinking really well now, albeit with plenty of years ahead.
95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A new project from the Indelicato family (Black Stallion Winery) and consultant Thomas Rivers Brown, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a ripe, full-bodied effort, loaded with scents of cherries, baking spices and dark chocolate accented by subtle herbal shadings. It's supple and expansive on the palate, culminating in a long, mouthwatering finish that combines a touch of warmth and a dusting of silky tannins. It should drink well for more than a decade.
