Tasting Note

With inviting aromas of coffee, iris, clove, and shitake mushrooms, Illustration is the most luxurious wine in the Blackbird portfolio. The mouthfeel offers density with integrated tanins and a long finish of violets, cocoa, and plum. The wine is gorgeous and will continue to develop over the next fiften years with time in the cellar.

Product Notes

Blackbird Vineyards Illustration wine is a luxurious blend that embodies the artistry and grace of Napa Valley winemaking. This robust red wine exudes flavors of dark berries, leather, and spice, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish. Crafted from a masterful combination of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, each sip is a symphony of complexity and elegance. The name "Illustration" pays homage to the beautiful labels that adorn each bottle, which feature intricate, hand-drawn designs that evoke a sense of sophistication and refinement. This wine is perfect for those seeking a sophisticated and bold wine experience.
