This was unbelievably refreshing on a hot summer day. The strawberry taste really shined through and it had a lot more body than expected.

This Bordeaux blend has a terrific structure, with a molten core of ripe, sweetly complex blackberries and black currants, but it’s also a very tannic wine. The tannins are of the hard kind, tough and astringent, with a drying finish. The wine needs a year or two to mellow. 1 Note

Made from 100% Merlot, this is a sort of junior, less expensive version of Blackbird’s Illustration bottling. It’s ripe in cherries and forward in smoky oak, with charred wood dominating the fruit. Feels simple and candy sweet in the mouth. 1 Note

Wonderful Merlot, rich and complex, with the classy mouthfeel that Napa provides so effortlessly. You might mistake it for a valley floor Cabernet for the new oak-infused blackberry, cherry and cocoa flavors and soft, immediate appeal. The tannins are there, but they’re melted, sweet and gentle. Drink now. 1 Note

Nearly all Merlot, with just 5% Cab Sauvignon, this Bordeaux blend is from a vineyard in the cooler, southern part of Napa Valley, influenced by Carneros breezes. Yet in this hot-hot vintage, it’s too ripe in jammy cherry and blackberry flavors, and the tannic structure has a rustic edge. Drink now. 1 Note
