From makers of Blackbird. 2015. Big and fruit forward, more dry less juicy, still nice and round. Not as heavy as you’d expect. — 6 years ago

some #wine grumps declare that you should NEVER 🚫 pair red wine 🍷 with chocolate dessert, but I can attest that there were exactly zero scowls when we matched the smooth, plum-blueberry-cocoa '15 Syrah from local (Sta. Rita Hills) #Melville #Winery with the deeply flavorful chocolate gateau at #Blackbird restaurant in #SantaBarbara — 6 years ago

Fortunate enough to taste this lovely wine 11 years after its vintage and it was singing. #napa #pnv Only 5 cases produced. “This wine showcases our 200 acres of estate vineyards by using a blend of the five classic Bordeaux grapes from five landmark Napa Valley appellations. Deeply fruited and elegantly structured, this wine combines nuance and power for a classic bottling. Our Premiere Napa Valley bottling showcases rich texture and deep complexity. Aromas of ripe blackberry, Bing cherry, clove and star anise leap from the glass and balance a dense palate of black plum, cassis and toasty cocoa with a smooth finish framed by dusty tannins.
