BLACK STALLION Wine

Black Stallion is a Napa Valley winery known for polished, approachable wines built around ripe fruit and a touch of oak. The Bourbon Central Black Stallion collection gathers the bottles we stock, so you can compare a Cabernet, a Pinot Noir, a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon Blanc from one producer and see how the house style carries across grapes. Every bottle is priced live, and the collection is a practical starting point if you want a crowd-pleasing Napa label for a dinner, a host gift or a holiday table.

The red wines lead the lineup. Black Stallion Cabernet Napa Valley ($30.99) is full-bodied and balanced, with blackberry, plum, vanilla and toasted oak aromas and flavors of cassis, plum and dark chocolate, and it pairs well with grilled tenderloin and blue cheese. If you want the step up, Black Stallion Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Release ($59.99) is the pinnacle of the range. For something lighter, Black Stallion Pinot Noir Los Carneros ($25.99) comes from the cool, maritime-influenced Carneros region and suits roast chicken, salmon and mushroom dishes.

The whites are just as useful at the table. Black Stallion Estate Winery Chardonnay Napa Valley ($22.99) opens with yellow apple, crème brûlée, apricot and pear, with citrus and pineapple on the palate, and it is the one to pour with roast turkey or creamy pasta. Black Stallion Sauvignon Blanc ($17.99) is the most affordable bottle in the collection, with guava, mango, lemongrass and honeysuckle aromas, and it works well with salads, goat cheese and seafood.

How to choose: if you are buying a single bottle for a gift, the Napa Cabernet is the safest pick, and if you are hosting a mixed table, buy the Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay together so that every guest has an option. Our guide to how to pick a Cabernet by region explains where Napa sits against Sonoma, Paso Robles and Washington, and our Thanksgiving wine guide shows how the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fit a holiday menu.
