2016 Blackbird Vineyards Paramour Proprietary Red Napa Valley 750ML (98 Pts. The Somm Journal)

Dave's Tasting Notes: Aromatic and Plush

The 2016 Blackbird Paramour Red is Cabernet Franc-driven with alluring aromatics and plush texture. Notes of blueberry, lavender, and graphite rise from the glass, framed by savory oak spice. Silky and expansive on the palate, it unfolds with plum compote, crushed violets, and dark chocolate. Fine-grained tannins and floral lift provide elegance across the finish. A standout for those who favor perfumed, expressive reds with depth.
