July 19, 2014 - Pretty much like others noted: rich and tasty, though not a lot of complexity. Better after a little air, but falls off after a while. 88-89

By Ben Narasin
August 2008 (link)(Blackbird Vineyards Proprietary Red) Pronounced tannins with noticeable, but balanced, acidity. Tart, with a pleasant current of dark chocolate, cacao, mocha, and tart plum, along with a touch of tobacco. Clearly a wine that will develop with age. Would benefit from decanting.
