Blackbird Merlot (2018) Carneros
Our wine features the blackbird label to honor the origins of the name – which comes from the French for “merle” – diminutive for blackbird, likely because of the deep dark color of the grape. This magnificent wine of the Carneros Appellation has been aged 20 months in 40% new French oak barrels, open-top fermentation. Just as the Blackbird enjoys rich fruit, so will you when you savor this wine’s blackberry sweetness, with notes of leather, spice, dark chocolate and black tea.
