Black Stallion Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2018.
2nd decent priced Napa Cab for January, $35 a bottle here in SE ($63 for the magnum).
Black Stallion is one of the house wines here and it seems to never disappoint, the 2018 is no exception. Nothing out of the ordinary really but offers a good value for a wine that delivers every year. Drinks nice young and can handle a few years in the cellar(especially the magnum), accessible and balanced. Dark fruits, cherry, oak, toned toned acidity, the tannins are present but well integrated. Also get some pepper/spices in the background. There’s some sweetness to it but not bad at all, also not overpowering when it comes to oak or fruits/jam (good balance).

Fully agree. I have gotten this several times already in Stockholm, great price/value.
