title: Blackbird Vineyards 2012 Arriviste Rosé (Napa Valley)
description: Surprisingly lithe for a Napa rosé that's made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It's pretty dark in color, but feels fresh and clean, with penetrating raspberry jam, red currant and vanilla flavors. You could drink this on a hot summer evening with barbecued steak.
variety: Rosé
designation: Arriviste
