The tannins are ample and sweet, giving to a well integrated mouthfeel that will continue to evolve over time. The flavors are ripe and vibrant with an elegant finish. Sarah Gott, winemaker ForbesLife "Find of the Day" October, 2007 "Sip like George Clooney by adding a bottle of Blackbird Vineyards 2005 Napa Valley Red Wine to your collection. It was served at last year's Vanity Fair Oscar party. A blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, winemaker Sarah Gott's red is aged for 20 months in 70% new and 30% seasoned French oak barrels before being bottled. Round, well-balanced and juicy, this wine makes a perfect gift for someone who doesn't quite know what kind of wine they like." "Remember Paul Giamatti’s fit in Sideways — "I’m not drinking any f---ing merlot!"? Well, whatever you do, don’t let that scare you away from merlot, especially not Blackbird Vineyards 2005 Proprietary Red, which is 96 percent merlot. So what does a wine heralded by the press as a "must-have merlot" taste like? Seduction, that’s what. This wine, from a 10-acre vineyard in the Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley, smells like dark cherry and blueberry and tastes of black plum and other dark fruits. Each sip seemed more complex than the last; the balance between fruit and alcohol was pretty darn close to perfect for me. Blackbird Vineyards is a not-unheard of story — wealthy finance guy buys expensive Napa Valley vineyard and makes limited-amount (just about 1,100 cases) of pricey wine. What’s different is this wine is astonishingly good and it’s only their third vintage. I’m looking forward to next years offering already." - Caramie Schnell, Vail Times <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/calwine" TITLE="California Wine Wines">California Wine Wines</A> <A HREF="http://www.calwine.com">California Wine</A> California Wine Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</A>
