Blackbird "Paramour" Napa Valley Proprietary Red
Cabernet Franc from Napa Valley
| Vintage: | 2013 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 93 points Vinous. The Cabernet Franc-based 2013 Paramour has turned out beautifully. Espresso, mocha, soaring spice notes and black stone fruits are pushed forward. Aromatic, inviting and ample on the palate, the 2013 is full of Franc sensuality. Like all of the 2013s, the Paramour needs time in bottle to soften, but it is quite expressive today just the same. (ag) (10/2015) 92 points James Suckling. Floral and fresh with violet and lilac aromas and flavors. Full body, slightly cooked fruits and figs. Medium finish. Drink in 2019. (1/2016) 92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. A blend of 52% Cabernet Franc, 34% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Paramour Proprietary Red is my favorite of the quartet. This wine shows wonderful forest floor and floral notes, blueberry and black raspberry, a dense ruby/purple color, a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, but a sense of lightness and finesse. It's a beautifully crafted and articulated wine with terrific precision and purity. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. (rp) (10/2015) 92 points Wine Spectator. A big, compelling style, with loads of fresh earth, juicy blackberry, road tar, licorice and toasty oak flavors. Maintains an elegant weight for the size, ending long, deep and persistent. (jl) (8/2016). |
