Black Stallion Limited Release Syrah 2016

A sophisticated and intensely structured Napa Valley red, the 2016 Black Stallion Limited Release Syrah showcases the exceptional quality of a standout vintage. This wine pours a deep, opaque purple and opens with a complex aromatic profile of ripe blackberries, blueberries, and plum, interwoven with savory notes of cracked black pepper, smoked meats, and dried violets. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, offering a velvety texture and firm, polished tannins. Layers of dark fruit are complemented by nuances of espresso, dark chocolate, and a touch of vanilla from aging in French oak. The finish is remarkably long and persistent, marked by a perfect balance of fruit intensity and earthy complexity.
