July 28, 2022 - Last bottle and was a little tight at first but opened up nicely to a soft juicy merlot blend. One of our favorite red blends from Napa

May 29, 2022 - Dirty 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.

April 1, 2022 - I love Blackbird abs great wine. Nice merlot based blend that everyone loves. We were lucky to have Winemaker Aaron Pott on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast. Uber talented and great interview

July 25, 2020 - This bottle was better than the one I opened in 2017. Definitely a nice merlot based blend, but I still don't find it makes my expectations for a higher price point bottle. I think it is at its peak for those that still have some.
