Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2014 Black Magic Proprietary Red is literally the best barrels in Tor’s red-wine cellar. This is a fabulous wine, as one might expect, with loads of black and blue fruits, sweet tannin, adequate acidity and an energy and concentration that are off the charts. This is a magnificent wine that can be drunk now, or cellared for another 25-30 years.

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2014 Black Magic is more classic and very much in the style of the vintage, with fabulous purity in its crème de cassis, violets, leafy herbs, and forest floor notes. A wine that builds with time in the glass, it’s full-bodied, utterly seamless and perfectly balanced, with a regal yet pleasure-bent style that can be drunk today or cellared for two decades or more.

James Suckling
A refined and silky wine with white pepper, dark fruit, rose petals and walnuts. Hints of plums. Medium-to full-bodied, fine and fresh. A beauty. Love it. Drink or hold.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
