BLACKBIRD VINEYARDS

Founder Michael Polenske wanted to create a winery that focused on producing wines from Merlot grapes, which fits with the name “Blackbird”, as merlot means “young blackbird” in French patois. Under the guidance of the acclaimed “Winemaker of the Year,” Aaron Pott, they craft Bordeaux-inspired wines using exceptional Napa Valley grapes. Instead of relying on a single vineyard, they embrace diversity by sourcing grapes from various locations throughout Napa Valley. Over the past 20 years, they have developed a dedicated following and invite others to join their community.

“Every wine in the Blackbird collection is a true expression of the Napa Valley, with each possessing extraordinary structure and finesse. These limited production wines display the complexity extracted from the highest quality fruit and devoted winemaking techniques.” –Aaron Pott, Winemaker
