The Wine

With ripe, opulent fruit flavor and lighter structure, our 2019 vintage offers notes of black cherry, plum, dried fig and a spicy undercurrent of cherry bark, faint mint and toasted oak.

 

The History

It all began with an abandoned poor farm, a black rabbit and big ideas. After leaping the hurdles that come with acquiring acres of land and a newly anointed historic site, McMenamins opened the Edgefield Winery in 1990 and crafted our very first wines there, a white and a white Riesling. Others soon followed.

By 1994 we were making more styles, and when it came time to name what would become our signature Black Rabbit Red, the inspiration was obvious: back in the early days a group of McMenamins folk stood in the midst of the madness, trying to envision the property's future. Talk stopped as they spotted a black rabbit, which hopped by and disappeared into its hole. That rabbit became legendary, inspiring not just wine and art, but an attitude - that of exploration, a "down the rabbit hole" way of experiencing what McMenamins has to offer.

This week we celebrate Black Rabbit Red and the history it represents. Salud!
