Black Stallion Estate Winery Black Stallion Bucephalus
Named after Alexander the Great's warhorse, the Bucephalus is the flagship wine of the Black Stallion Estate Winery from Napa Valley – a red wine that aims to combine the estate's best vineyard sites in a single bottle.
Black Stallion is located in the southern Napa Valley, near Oakville, on soils of volcanic rock and clay. The winery is known for powerful, structured red wines that combine the warm Napa style with meticulous craftsmanship. The Bucephalus is a blend of the best parcels of the vintage, aged in French oak barrels.
In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red color. The nose offers blackberry, cassis, and a hint of cedar, underpinned by lavender and spice notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied with ripe tannins, aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, and baking spices – the finish is long and warm.
Best served at 16–18 °C . Pairs well with seared ribeye, braised leg of lamb, or mature cheddar. Aging it for another one to two years will reward you with softer tannins and greater depth.
