Vintage Report
De jaargang 2021 voor North Coast Pinot Noir in Californië ontving een buitengewone score van 96 punten. De wijnen uit dit uitstekende oogstjaar zijn van topkwaliteit, maar kunnen momenteel nog wat jeugdig of tanninerijk zijn.
Pinot Noir is perhaps the world's most headstrong grape. Well, this black stallion is a master at taming it. The name Black Stallion is no coincidence. The winery is located in the former Silverado Horseman's Center, a prestigious equestrian center in Napa. At the beginning of this century, it was converted into a state-of-the-art winery, situated on Silverado Trail, a street lined with California wineries.
The vineyards of Black Stallion
The driving force behind Black Stallion wines is none other than the renowned Delicato family. Originally from Italy, this family arrived in California in the early 1920s and built an empire of leading wineries throughout California. Black Stallion's vineyards, located in the iconic Napa Valley, are among the Delicato family's finest. The impressive vineyards, state-of-the-art technology, and the stunning winery (where wine enthusiast and director Francis Ford Coppola filmed a scene for Apocalypse Now) create Black Stallion's exquisite wines.A Pinot Noir from California
A Pinot Noir grape from perhaps California's finest wine region. Napa holds a special place in many hearts; after all, its wines are among the very best. This Pinot Noir is an incomparable glass of wine. Just by smelling it, we immediately recognize the Pinot Noir's characteristics: soft red fruit, a touch of earth, and gentle spice. However, with this Black Stallion Pinot Noir, you also discover a hint of smoky notes. The taste is typical Pinot Noir: fresh wild strawberries, soft tannins, and appealing cherries. Distinctive yet exquisite.Product details
