    Blackbird Vineyards Arise Red 2019 is a testament to the craft of winemakers Aaron Pott and Kyle Mizuno, whose expertise brings forth a wine of exceptional elegance and complexity. This classic Napa blend, rooted in the prestigious soils of Napa Valley, elegantly weaves together the best of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Petit Verdot. The meticulous aging process of 21 months in French oak barrels, with a balanced use of new and seasoned wood, enhances the wine’s character, ensuring a harmony between the wine and oak that only deepens its allure.

    The color of Blackbird Vineyards Arise Red 2019 is a deep, inviting ruby, hinting at the richness and depth waiting to be discovered. On the nose, this wine presents a complex and integrated bouquet of plum, cherry, and pomegranate, underlined by sophisticated notes of tobacco, forest floor, nutmeg, black pepper, and a refreshing hint of blood orange zest. This intricate aroma sets the stage for a tasting experience that promises and delivers richness and elegance in equal measure.

    Upon tasting, the wine reveals a good mid-palate richness characterized by flavors of blackberry jam, plum, and cherry, seamlessly blending with tobacco and earthy undertones. The tannins are plush and rich, contributing to a structured yet velvety mouthfeel. As the wine opens up, it unfolds layers of crushed strawberries, plum jam, and a delicate finish of milk chocolate, showcasing the wine’s complexity and the skillful blending that defines Blackbird Vineyards’ approach.

    Blackbird Vineyards Arise Red 2019 has garnered admiration and high praise from critics, a reflection of its outstanding quality and appeal. James Suckling awarded it 92 points, noting its “blueberry, blackcurrant, and dark-mushroom aromas” that lead into a “medium body with fine tannins and a juicy, savory finish,” punctuated by an intriguing tangy orange rind note. Jeb Dunnock gave it 93 points, highlighting its “red and black fruits, darker herbs, chocolate, and peppery nuances,” and commended its freshness, great texture, ripe tannins, and the overall elegance and balance that make it slightly fresher than its predecessor.

    The Blackbird Vineyards Arise Red 2019 is a fine example of what Blackbird Vineyards excels at: producing rich, nuanced, and elegantly balanced wines. The collaboration between Aaron Pott and Kyle Mizuno, with their deep understanding of winemaking and oak’s nuanced interplay, shines through in this exceptional wine.

    I loved the nose on the 2019 Arise Proprietary Red, and it's loaded with red and black fruits, darker herbs, chocolate, and peppery nuances. Slightly fresher than the 2018, it's medium to full-bodied, has a great texture, ripe tannins, and shines for its elegance and balance.
