Blackbird Vineyards Dissonance
Radiant aromatics of white flowers, apricot, key lime, and orange blossom pour out from this pal straw white wine. It features flavors of peach, pear, ruby red grapefruit, honey and sea salt. Additional notes include green melon, nutmeg, pear, and white flower blossoms. Founded in 2003 by Michael Polenske, Blackbird Vineyards is part of the Bespoke Collection and specializes in Napa Valley Bordeaux-inspired wines under the guidance of famed winemaker Aaron Pott. Dissonance stands out as the only white wine in their portfolio—its name a nod to its divergence from their typical red blends.
