Winery Story

After a successful career in financial services Michael Polenske followed his palate to Napa Valley. Now the owner of Blackbird Vineyards, P... (more...)olenske's found success again with his acclaimed Merlot-based blend. Blackbird Vineyards encompasses 10 acres of mostly dry farmed vines in the Oak Knoll district of Napa. Its highly allocated wines are made by the talented Sarah Gott of Joseph Phelps and Quintessa.

Tasting Note

Unfined and unfiltered, this wine is made from 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Inky purple in color, it delivers ripe notes of black c... (more...)herry, mocha and tobacco in an integrated, suave package. The long finish features baking spice, toast and earth. Definitely a Merlot-driven wine that dispels the varietal's bad rap: you don't want to miss this.
