Blackbird Vineyards Blackmail Napa Valley Merlot 2016
Deep Inky in color with a very short purple rim. Not showing age at all.
Strong fruity nose with blackberries, black plums, black currants, light cedar, figs, stewed cherries, licorice, spices, light earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates, peppercorn, earth, herbs, spices, pencil lead, licorice and diet cola.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a great Napa Merlot with a touch of right bank Bordeaux. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Elegant and fruity. Spicy and interesting. Rich and tangy.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Good by itself as a sipping wine. Delicious stuff.
