Blackstone Winemaker Select wines are fruit-forward, smooth, and harmonious - the perfect complement to any meal. Our winemaking team hand-selects grapes from over 100 vineyards throughout California, pulling from the best parcels in the same regions year after year. Each vineyard is carefully chosen to add something unique to the finished blend. The result of this meticulous sourcing strategy is consistent wines of incredible quality and complexity at a price suited to everyday enjoyment

Harkening back to the elegant style of the 2001, 2004, and 2006 vintages, the 2008 Banda Azul opens with a rich perfume of dark cherries and vanilla; on the palate, the authoritative Tempranillo fruit is well-seasoned by notes of spicy vanilla oak from aging in new barrels. Although fully ready to  enjoy now, this wine offers a significant aging potential of 3 to 9 years.
