Varietal: Merlot | Location: United States - California
Our Merlot is our signature “Blackstone Style†with rich fruit aromas, supple oak characteristics and soft tannins. You’ll discover dark cherry and berry aromas with a touch of clove to please the palate. The texture is ripe and soft in the mouth, with a smooth, lingering finish. Blackstone Merlot is the perfect companion to a seasoned rack of lamb, grilled burgers, and tomato-based pasta dishes. Bring it to a neighbor’s BBQ or your own backyard table.
At different altitudes, the family's Malbec vineyards express a unique profile of aromas and flavors: the ripe plum fruit flavors and silky texture of the Angelica vineyard (2,850? elevation); the dark fruit character and pepper notes of the La Pirámide vineyard (3,100? elevation); the black cherry aromas and excellent structure of the La Consulta vineyard (3,870? elevation); the explosive floral aromatics full, concentrated mouthfeel of the Adrianna vineyard (5,000?). The blend of these components creates a wine of unique character that has balance, concentration and a strong varietal identity.
