A Napa Valley Bordeaux-style red blend from Blackbird Vineyards, bottled at 14.5% ABV. The 2010 vintage is composed of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot. It was fermented with native yeasts and aged entirely in French oak barrels. The 2010 growing season produced lower yields, resulting in concentrated fruit and European-style finesse. It drinks well now but benefits from 30 to 45 minutes in a decanter.
Tasting Notes
Leather and truffle give way to ripe currant and lavender, with an underlying earthiness of loamy soil and dried herbs.
Dense black cherry and blackberry, layered with cassis and subtle anise; fine-grained tannins build with weight, with a peppery, mineral-driven spine and plum and blueberry notes.
Polished and supple, with lingering dark fruit, mineral and gentle spice.
