5/29/2022 - merryberry Likes this wine: 91 pointsDirty brown red. Blueberry, leather, and spice nose, after being really stinky/mushroom-y most of the first night. Medium to full bodied, black cherries, woody tannins, white pepper, earth, smoke, good acid, and a long finish. Great with food and on its own. |

3/21/2022 - richshoes Likes this wine: 90 pointsnot as amazing as I've had in the past...maybe I am burnt out on merlot and the fruit bomb...still better than other merlots out there...a lot of nice dark fruit and cherry...a little bit of terroir and balanced, at times hints of being hot |

3/19/2022 - WineJunkieWest Likes this wine: 90 pointsIt has been a year since opening my last bottle and what a year's difference. The tannins were still very bright last year and now everything has settled into an incredibly well integrated bottle. Waited about 30 minutes. The nose was lovely with black and blueberries, dark inky legs, smooth on the palate with a medium long finish. Drinking beautifully now. Wish I had more! |

2/20/2022 - dase13 wrote: 87 pointsColor of dark red. Scents of mulled red fruit with toasted vanilla. Tastes were consistent with scents. As this has aged, it’s clear that the fruit is becoming more one-note and the oak/vanilla has become much more primary (overpowering the fruit). I won’t hold my other vintages of Blackbird Arise this long before drinking. |

1/25/2022 - rbradleypate wrote: 91 pointsDrank over 2 days. Underwhelming compared to previous vintages. Merlot dominated the palate, tannins seemed a bit forward. Not as balanced as most Arise bottlings. Will hold and see if tannins soften and integrate more over time. |

12/14/2021 - 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 has the fruit & structure to develop further with additional aging. However, it does seem as if it was meant for near to mid-term drinking. This vintage is a blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 6% Syrah & 4% Petite Verdot. |

Hot wine with oak, vanilla, spices, ripe fruits and no balance. This is a huge disappointment. The fact Vinous Media gave this 90 points only should be alarming. 84 points |

9/4/2021 - wmccone54 wrote: 90 pointsDrinking well at ten years, lots of development since April 2015. The smoky Merlot seems to dominate this blend: black cherry, red plum, powdered cocoa, dried baking spices, savory dried green notes, and charred earth. Grainy tannins lurk in the background with medium acidity. There seems to be enough fruit and structure to carry this forward for another 2-3 years. Given the disappointing vintage, I was somewhat expecting this to be fading, but it seems to be in a good place. |
