Note di degustazione
The 2015 Illustration, Blackbird's Merlot-based red, is plump, juicy and forward. Succulent red cherry, plum, mocha, licorice and sweet spice fill out the wine's mid-weight frame effortlessly. Soft contours and silky tannins add to the wine's considerable charm. Drink it over the next few years.

A blend of 60% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Illustration Proprietary Red has quite a plummy nose with mulberries and fragrant earth plus a waft of stewed tea. The medium to full-bodied palate has a good core of earthy fruit, with chewy tannins and appealing freshness.
The 2015 Illustration is supple and expressive, with an attractive combination of bright aromatics and pliant fruit. This is an especially vibrant, lively wine for the vintage.
