Item Description
A Really Big Blackbird
--One 3L 2010 Blackbird Vineyards Illustration
Blackbird Vineyards produces some of the Napa Valley's finest wine! Just imagine--a 3 Litre is like a party in a bottle!
Since their premier release in 2003, Blackbird Vineyards' winemaking team has handcrafted truly expressive wines with a focus on the varietals of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Their affinity for Merlot and other Bordeaux varietals is reflected in each wonderfully aromatic, rich, and polished vintage. Here is the Illustration from the 2010 vintage, in 3-Litre format.
The 2010 Proprietary Red Illustration is composed of 48% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 22% Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose offers plenty of sweet cassis, blueberry, camphor and floral notes. Fleshy and pure as well as loaded with fruit and character, this is a beautifully balanced, seamless effort that when released in 2013, reviewers said "should drink beautifully for 15-20 years – if you can resist it for that long." And this one is ready now.
Don't let this 'Bird fly away!
