This tastes good at first, but there's something of a chemical-y finish to it. Made me think they must add to much artificial flavoring to achieve the finished product.

Wine Tasting NotesThe Blackstone Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon shows aromas of dark cherry and sweet earth. Concentrated flavors of red spice, currant and dark chocolate dominate the palate. With impeccable structure and balance, this wine will age gracefully for the next five to ten years.

We are proud to release the inaugural vintage of our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon. As a Sonoma-based winery, we take great pleasure in crafting fruit-driven and approachable wines using Sonoma County fruit. Selecting top quality fruit from vineyards in Sonoma County's best appellations gives Blackstone its signature fruit-forward stylealong with backbone and complexity. 2002 was a fantastic growing season for Sonoma County. The Sonoma Valley vineyards provided bright fruit flavors. Grapes from our Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley vineyards provided fullness to the wine while the Sonoma Coast vineyards gave us classic structure and true varietal character.After the grapes were hand-harvested, Blackstone Winemaker Dennis Hill crushed and cold-soaked the grapes for three days to maximize flavor and color extraction. The grapes were pressed just prior to completing fermentation, emphasizing forward fruit characteristics. The wine was then aged in a mix of French (55%), American (40%) and Hungarian (5%) oak barrels for15 to 20 months. The Blackstone Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon shows aromas and flavors of bright, fresh cherry with hints of spice, pepper and violets. This is a big, powerful Cabernet, but the tannins are smooth and round, making it enjoyable now. The wine has a long, flavor-packed finish. Enjoy this pleasing Cabernet Sauvignon with filet mignon with blue cheese and walnuts, barbecued tri-tip, creamy pasta dishes or cheeses, such as Parmesan Reggiano and smoked gouda.

The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deep garnet color; the aromatics reveal a fusion of rich, exotic spices, ripe plum and roses. The luscious palate is well balanced with enticing flavors of plum, cherry and spice. The full flavors move beautifully onto a ripe, long-lasting finish. According to Winemaker Dennis Hill, this is the perfect Blackstone Cabernet Sauvignon, well balanced and a great everyday wine. The signature style of Blackstone is an integrated wine with supple fruit; surrounded by elegant creaminess, well-structured oak and firm tannins. At Blackstone we believe our wines should be friendly, flavorful and balanced, encouraging one's interest in the marriage between food and wine. Alcohol: 13.0% by volume
