Blackbird Arise Napa Valley 2012
Showing great dark fruit, tobacco, and spices on the nose, it evolves into an expansive and rich palate with plenty of pure Napa fruit on display. The silky tannins are well-balanced and support the layers of spice and cherry that culminate in a powerful finish. Enjoy this wine over the next 8-10 years.
