Vintage Report
The 2020 vintage for North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon has been rated 'excellent' with 90 points by Robert Parker. However, the harvest is considered inconsistent, even among the best wines.
Our Review
Here it becomes a bit clearer Napa Valley, which also brings some depth and structure compared to, for example, the Hess Allomi. Without becoming thin, this is still a clearly present powerhouse. But what clearly shows the structure of the Cabernet.
One of the better Napa Valley Cabernets under €75.
Driving through the California landscape, you'll be constantly surprised by the stunning scenery. Heading towards Napa, the heart of California's finest wine region, the iconic Silverado Trail is highly recommended. Numerous well-known and lesser-known homes line this road. Stop when you see the statue of a large black stallion. That's right, Black Stallion is located here. It's housed in a former riding stable, the Silverado Horseman's Center. In its heyday, it could accommodate more than 3,000 people.
A wine from Napa Valley
Napa Valley has been known for its exquisite wines for decades. This is partly due to its excellent climate. Daytime temperatures can be exceptionally warm thanks to the Californian sun. However, nights cool down considerably. The ocean has a significant influence on this. The Delicato family recognized the potential of this region as early as the beginning of the last century. They have significantly expanded this potential with the addition of several vineyards. The Black Stallion vineyard is the latest addition to their phenomenal portfolio.Impressions of this Cabernet Sauvignon wine
