Blackstone Cabernet
California Cabernet, soft oak, and a price that stays honest.
The story behind Blackstone
Blackstone Winery started in Sonoma County in 1990 and built its name on an approachable California Merlot before the Cabernet joined the lineup. The grapes are multi appellation, drawn from more than 100 select vineyards across Sonoma County, Monterey, the Central Coast, and Napa Valley. Each lot is harvested and developed on its own to hold its local character, then blended.
The flagship Winemaker's Select is typically 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Syrah, and 1% Petite Sirah, aged about 11 months in French and American oak. That oak brings vanilla, warm toast, caramel, and coconut against black cherry and plum. We have poured Blackstone Cabernet for decades because it behaves the same way every vintage.
