Black Stallion Winery Transcendent Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A selection of the best lots, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Trancendent has a juicy, full-bodied, concentrated style that's very much in the style of the vintage. Blackcurrants, blackberries, scorched earth, dark chocolate, and roasted herb notes all define the aromatics, and this beauty has plush fruit with a firmer core of tannins that give the wine plenty of focus and length.

The 100% varietal 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Transcendent offers up scents of pencil shavings, cassis and black cherries, plus vaguely floral nuances. It's full-bodied, expansive and generous but shows a modicum of Cabernet restraint, tapering into a long, lingering and softly tannic finish tinged with dark chocolate and French roast. If you can, give it at least a few years before pulling a cork.

A big, textured and densely fruity cabernet sauvignon with aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, dried herbs, vanilla and sweet spices. Full-bodied with plush tannins. Ample with a dense core of berries and chocolate and a chewy character in the finish. Try after 2025.
