Yes, the presence of sediment does not always indicate that the wine has gone bad. All of our wine is made from whole fruit or fresh pressed juice and not from artificial flavors, so the naturally occurring compounds that are in fruit are still present. All of our wines are filtered to clarify the wine, but solids can form in the wine after bottling.
The Blackberry Wine may develop a sediment over time as a naturally occurring acid in the blackberries solidifies in the presence of alcohol. A white dust like sediment can be seen in the bottle; if this occurs, let it fall to the bottom of the bottle before drinking.
Grape wines can develop a crystal called tartrates when chilled that resembles sugar. You can sometimes see these on the bottom of the bottle in white wines or on the cork in red wines. These are sometimes called 'wine diamonds' and is the same compound as cream of tartar. Let the tartrates fall to the bottom of the bottle or use a filter or decanter when serving.
