Located on the historic Silverado Trail in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District, Black Stallion Estate Winery
pays homage to the rich history of the 32-acre estate which was once home to the Silverado Equestrian
Center. The property was purchased in 2010 by the Indelicato family, a fourth generation family-owned
company founded in 1924. Sourcing from the most prestigious vineyards, the winery is committed to
making only the most expressive wines.

VINTAGE
The 2022 growing season saw a remarkably mild start, with budbreak commencing in March, robust shoot
growth, and the promise of average crop yields ahead of version in mid-July. The summer weather
provided an ideal environment for grape maturity. Despite occasional heat spikes, proactive vineyard
management successfully mitigated negative impacts. Harvest began in mid-August, delivering grapes
with excellent balanced acidity and freshness. However, over Labor Day weekend in September there was
a record-breaking heat wave that accelerated ripening, leading to an early and compact harvest.
VITICULTURE
The fruit used to craft this 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a remarkable range of terroirs, from the cool coastal
climates of Mendocino and Sonoma to the windswept hills of Suisun Valley, east of San Pablo Bay, and the volcanic
mountainsides further north. This Cabernet expertly balances the bright, wild berry character and refreshing mountain
air with the rich, ripe fruit intensity that lies at the heart of wine country.
WINEMAKING
Picking decisions were determined by winemakers after multiple vineyard visits during ripening. Individual
vineyards and blocks were kept separate during fermentations to focus unique site characteristics.
Fermentations were tasted daily with adjustments to pump-over timing to optimize gentle extraction of
aromatics and color, while rounding and developing tannins. Grapes were pressed off skins based on tannin
expression, within a few days of dryness, keeping press fractions separate when desired for wine texture.
Lots were aged on oak and racked 2-3 times prior to final blend and bottling. The lots in the blend were
specifically selected for dark fruit and ripe character, and rounded yet firm tannin, indicative of the
mountains that run through the center of California’s north coast.
TASTING NOTES
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is the inaugural vintage of Black Stallion W in e s co m i n g f r o m t h e
No r t h Coast – a prestigious appellation on the California coast that continues our signature profile of
slightly softer, and approachable Cabernet Sauvignon. This rich and refined wine does not require years of
further aging to achieve ideal balance and can be enjoyed upon release. The wine opens with stunning
aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and toasty notes of cedar; the palate carries bold, velvety flavors of dark
cherry, juicy plum and a hint of baking spice. Intense, concentrated fruit and round tannins with brightly
balanced acidity extends to an elegant finish with the right amount of grip.

It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!
Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
