"From the start, our goal has been to produce smooth, flavorful, harmonious wines with rich fruit, supple texture, and balanced oak. Early on, this approach found its ideal expression in our Merlot, which soon became -- and still remains -- America's Favorite Merlot.
Over the years, the same passion for consistent, balanced wines has expanded to new varieties bearing Blackstone's trademark label. Our Winemaker's Select wines are sourced from premier growing regions throughout California, each meticulously selected to contribute certain nuances to the final blend. Drawing from the best parcels in the same areas year after year ensures Winemaker's Select wines maintain the consistency that is Blackstone's heritage.
Through it all, Blackstone has stayed true to the approach inspired by our California roots - to craft wines that complement food and any occasion in which you celebrate the things in life you can count on."~Winery Notes
