  Delicious. Strong palette and nose of smoked meats, cigar box and leather but also still getting the primary red and black fruit as well. Great balance between the flavors and still has good body after 14 years. Loved it.

  Consumed over several days. Cab franc really shines through and the merlot adds some nice softness to the mouthfeel. Well balanced wine that was enjoyed by all who tasted it. Still very fruitful, but secondary notes are starting to peak through. Drink now through 2030.

  Served blind
  Deep clear ruby
  Ripe tart red currant, moderate tannins, not overly oaked.
  At ten years this if coming together very nicely.
  But I would choose to hold.

  Tons of fruit in this one. Decanted over an hour. Lots of raspberry. Leather. Oak. Wood and vanilla. Quite a nice wine. I’m always impressed with Blackbird and their blends. Slight violet and rock smells. Really nice wine. Paired with ahi tuna steaks
