Opened 30 minutes before consuming, but did not decant. This is ‘bottle age’ for a Blackbird wine. Red fruits, vanilla, baking spice on the nose. Rich palate, but with ample acidity to marry with food (shepherds pie). Mid weight on the palate and with refined tannins. Long finish.

NYE 2019. Alongside the following other Cabernet's:
Altamura Cab 12', Rombauer Stags Leap 03', Hewitt Rutherford Estate 12', Jordan Alexander Valley 13', Pott Napa Valley 14', Colgon IX Estate 05', Hundred Acre 06'.
Wood driven, smooth but a sharp finish of acidity and cherry. I sort of liked it but against the lineup tonight this did not shine.
