2024 ArrivisteNapa Valley

Inspired by “les gitanes,” the gypsies of St. Emilion, Blackbird Vineyards’ Arriviste captures the high-spirited nature of winemaking. This vibrant, puckish rosé conjures images of summer twilights and harvest moons. While it hints at the flavors of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that frame it, Arriviste is not a wine to demystify. It is simply a wine to enjoy.

“Plum, strawberry, guava, peach pit, poached pear on the nose. Soft attack with plum, strawberry, nutmeg, yuzu, salty, very round with bright acidity on the edges. Great length with strawberry, cherry, plum, and peach.” - Aaron Pott, Winemaker
