Okay my friends # 200 is a hit! This is Blackbird Vineyards Arise 2012 blend of merlot 58%, cab franc 32%, cab sav 10%. The color is almost opaque, but not quite there. There is the initial bouquet of fresh brownies baking in the oven . The initial palate is blackberry, raspberry, fig, and chocolate. There is a small amount of leather and oak present. The finish is dry and lip smacking good. Where is my water? Buy this one folks!!!! You wont be disappointed !!!!! — 8 years ago

My last 2011 bottle. The estate of Sette Ponti lies in the heart of the Chianti zone, 15 miles northwest of the city of Arezzo, past the village of San Giustino Valdarno. Crognolo, aged in French Allier barriques, deep red with red fruit aromas and sweet perfumed spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors, gentle spice and soft tannins with great mouthfeel. Good balance, lingering finish ending with some oak and mineral tones. Aged well. — 7 years ago
2007 Saxum James Berry Vineyard Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah blend. 15.8% alcohol. Dark as midnight with a ruby rim. The nose positively leaps from the glass with anise, violets, creme de cassis, crushed berries and a hint of spearmint. On the palate, sweet, candied raspberry syrup with notes of cedar, cinnamon, baking spices, vanilla and a hint of black olives. Pure and intense with great concentration and wonderful structure. 2 minute finish and then some. The Mourvèdre component raises this wine to another level for me, and highlights the talent of @Justin Smith as a master blender. 99 points with the only impediment to perfection being that '06 SQN "A Shot In The Dark" from last week which still haunts my dreams. — 8 years ago
This 1983 was drinking beautifully. Still roaring along after 32 years... Excellent fruit structure and not much loss of color or character. I really loved this — 10 years ago

Wonderful wine. Comparable to Von Strasser Cab. Give it time to open up and get rid of the sharp, peppery edges & it will be smooth & round, with a dry finish. — 9 years ago
Nice oak and nice acidity. Pair with some rich nigiri. — 10 years ago
Funky taste to live up to the name, but very good. Wild berries up front and smooth finish. Very pleased. — 10 years ago
