Absolutely perfect pairing with tonight’s Xmas Eve tenderloins. Just the right balance of brambly dark red/blue fruit, spice cabinet, pepper/licorice, a soft tannic frame, and a linear acidity. Add it up with a bouquet of dark red fruit, crushed mint, mocha, and a floral/violet thing goin on. Happy Holidays!

Dark purple core reaching all the way to the rim. A dazzling array of ripe fruit fly out of the glass; blueberry, black plum and bring cherry with hints of mint and espresso. The mouth is full and rich, weighty with the texture of glycerine. The tannins are grippy with black tea like bite. There is an endless chorus of ripe, juicy fruit and a finish that never fades. Can't wait to try this in 10 years!

Insanely delicious, but could use some time to decant. Superb ageing potential. Bordeaux style blend, full bodied with high tannins, blackcurrant and cassis notes with a slight earthy undertone.

07’ Blackbird Paramour 50% Merlot 45% CF 5% CB
Like most of these wines from Blackbird. Dark ruby red in color. The palate is full of blackberry, boysenberry, black cherry black licorice, peppercorn?!? All mid & back palate. Drink them up soon.

Apr 19th, 2018Peaks and valleys of varying levels of complexity. Dark fruit, rocks, pie spice, furry teeth, and a linear acidity. Lingering finish. This is a baby and I can only imagine how good this'll be when it hits manhood.

What a wine! Aaron Pott knocked this one out of the park. Cab Franc- Merlot blend. Silky smooth tannins. Dark chocolate and slate.

Again, silky and structured. A little higher in tannin. Grippy and good. Ageable.
