Blackstone Merlot is a California red wine made from Merlot-dominant fruit sourced from over 100 vineyards across the state. The blend is 79% Merlot with 14% Syrah and smaller portions of Petite Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. It is cellared for 11 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels. The wine has dark cherry and ripe berry aromas with clove and vanilla, a soft fruit-driven palate of plum, blackberry and raspberry, and a medium finish with chocolate and baking spice.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dark cherry and ripe berry aromas, followed by spicy clove and vanilla, with a faint toasted-bread quality as it opens.

Palate

Soft and fruit-driven, with plum and blackberry first, then raspberry and darker cherry, gentle tannins and a touch of chocolate; Syrah and Petite Syrah add weight and a peppery edge.

Finish

Medium in length, smooth and lightly chocolaty, with lingering baking spice and soft tannins.
