Illustration represents the core of Blackbird Vineyards. Every element of its multi-faceted wine portfolio drawsinspiration from this principally Merlot composition. Illustration challenges the notion that Cabernet Sauvignonis the only age-worthy red wine crafted in Napa Valley.

"Black truffle, forest floor, tobacco, cedar, plum, black cherry, black olive and blackberry in the nose. Nice attack of black currant, plum, licorice, tobacco, cherry. Leads to a beautiful rich mid palate with beautiful texture. Raspberry, plum, cherry and tobacco finish this wine out with class and style that seems to last forever.” - Aaron Pott, Winemaker
