Black Stallion

Orange blossom, lemon curd and toasted almond aromas accompany luscious fruit, toasted bread, caramel and a light butter finish. Grapes come from North Coast vineyards in the Russian River Valley, Mendocino and Napa Valley. Fruit is harvested at night and pressed into fermentation tanks. Portions ferment on French oak, with weekly stirring, and the full blend completes malolactic fermentation. Alcohol is 14.5 percent.
