California

The 2016 Illustration is rich, sensual and so inviting. The Merlot-based Illustration is super-expressive right out of the gate. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, licorice and new leather build in a succulent, racy wine that will drink beautifully right out of the gate. Dollops of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon round out the blend. Vineyard sources include Stagecoach, Hudson, Star and Crocker Starr."

The 2016 Paramour shows all of the perfume and grace of Cabernet Franc, which drives the blend. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, raspberry jam and wildflowers all open up with time. Medium in body and full of character, the Paramour is terrific. A whole range of sweet floral and mineral notes punctuates the finish.

The 2016 Contrarian is a rich, explosive wine. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice, incense and cloves imbue this heady Cabernet with tons of depth, power and resonance. The 2018 Contrarian is a total knock-out and also one of the finest wines I have ever tasted from Blackbird."

Tasting Notes: Dark fruit, blackberries, ripe plums, mushroom, dark chocolate, vanilla.
