Black Stallion Collector Edition Merlot 2019

Black Stallion Collector Edition Merlot 2019 is a rich, opulent, and beautifully balanced Napa Valley red wine produced by Black Stallion Estate Winery along the iconic Silverado Trail. Crafted from select vineyard parcels in prime Napa Valley sub-appellations, it benefits from extended aging in French and American oak barrels. In the glass, it exhibits a deep ruby-purple hue with welcoming aromas of ripe black cherry, plum jam, and cassis layered with warm accents of toasted cedar, vanilla bean, cocoa, and subtle baking spice. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with a velvety, mouth-coating texture, delivering concentrated dark berry fruit flavors framed by smooth, integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savory finish with notes of mocha and gentle spice.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb chops, grilled duck breast, braised beef short ribs, pork tenderloin with plum reduction, and aged Gouda or Cheddar.
