Blackbird Vineyards

     
  Founded in 2003 by Michael Polenske, Blackbird Vineyards is an artisanal producer of Pomerol-inspired wines from the Napa Valley. Planted in 1997, the estate vineyard is located in the heart of the Oak Knoll District, a region appreciated for its moderate climate and deep, gravelly soils. The vineyard's valley floor topography presents optimum growing conditions for winemaker Aaron Pott to produce elegantly styled, appropriately balanced red wines that offer short and long term cellaring potential. Limited quantities are available through an allocated mailing list direct from the winery and in the finer restaurants and hotels around the world.

Blackbird Vineyards is closed to the public but the portfolio of wines can be tasted and acquired in a collective wine tasting experience at Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley, located at 6711 Washington Street, Yountville, CA.

  Tasting Room Description:While it is impossible to singularly define Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley, it is possible to define its sole purpose as "a life aesthetic." Ma(i)sonry can best be described as a living gallery-a destination where guests can admire or purchase art and furnishings that encompass works from 16th century European masters to modern artists and designers, all while savoring limited production, artisan wines. Based on individual taste, some guests will find Ma(i)sonry's appeal in the modern lines of an Alexandra von Furstenberg console, and others, as a contemporary showroom where wine and art seamlessly intertwine, enhancing the sensory appeal of both.
