4/21/2024 - Franken Berry Likes this wine: 91 pointsDrank this after the Crocker cab franc blend, since the cab franc is sourced from the latter vineyard (I think). Vinnut nails the descriptors and the blend, although I prefer the more juicy cab franc heavy Crocker & Starr |

4/3/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 91 pointsDeep, dark garnet, inky, opaque in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of earthy/dusty notes, spices & herbs, some mint notes, mocha & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, plush, ripe fruit flavors of sweet cherries, mulberries & cassis with spices, herbs, minerals, cocoa & a hint of oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but should develop further with additional aging. However, it does seem as if it was meant for near to mid-term drinking. A blend of 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 8% Syrah & 5% Petit Verdot. A lovely & enjoyable Red Blend! |

2/3/2023 - bens275 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis was much more complex than I expected at this age. Rich fruit flavors (mostly dark berries, plum, cassis) with some notes of roasted herbs and toasty oak that was noticeable but not overbearing. The tannins are very well-integrated even at this age. Perhaps only a little thin on the mid-palate at first, it put on plenty of weight after a couple hours. Drink within the next 5-10 years. |

1/17/2021 - dase13 wrote: 92 pointsColor of very dark red almost purple. Scents are ripe blueberry and blackberry. Tastes are consistent with scents, plush fruit, and round mouth feel. Made of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with a little bit of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Verdot. As a result, it wasn’t very tannic. |

4/25/2021 - davidandrose Likes this wine: 90 points30 minutes of bottle air; red cherries on the nose. There’s dry tannins front and mid pallet which linger for sometime,Indicating the potential for this to age a few years. This otherwise strikes me as a fruit dominant wine, lacking much depth or layering. |

5/20/2021 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 94 pointsRetail $45. 43% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot. Big Ass Bottle. Another vintage with four of the five Bordeaux varieties (in the name of all holy, add some Malbec?). The bottle is emblazoned with an “XV” which took a bit of effort to decipher (it’s the 15th vintage for Blackbird). Decidedly richer and fruitier than the 2016, along with similar emphasis on black pepper and spice (although the hints of green pepper were noticeably absent). The palate’s focus is also on the fruit, which is rich and luscious. I was ready to dismiss this wine as a philosophical shift to the dark, er fruity, side, but starting on the mid-palate, there is a whole lot more here. Sure, the fruit continues to dominate, but OK, Whoa. Depth, intrigue, countless flavors, Yowza. And, yes, Whoa. |

6/24/2021 - wdcwineguys Likes this wine: 91 points91-92. Drinks well with 30+ of air. Expressive nose of black cherry, plum. Tannins are a bit firm, juicy, nice texture with fruit up front, but not jammy. Good value and quality. |

8/1/2021 - davidandrose Likes this wine: 91 pointsFrom 750. Uncorked 3 days ago, but my bride recorded when the guys started falling asleep in the pool. Tar, alcohol and dark fruit on the nose; wine had the greatest depth and body during the first hour after reopening, but still got more out of this than I have from earlier 375’s of the wine. |
