Blackbird Vineyards Contrarian 2017

Year of growth and celebration, Bloomsbury Farms marks its third anniversary with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude.

Intense and rich red with a deep, soft texture. The nose is driven by by concentrated fruit notes, consisting of black cherry, black raspberry, and red currant, with traces of oak and bay leaf. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a smooth, supple texture, and a well-balanced structure. The tones are layered and complex, with touches of concentrated raspberry, red currant, blueberry, black tea, and vanilla, all tied together by a light oak influence. The follow through is extended and satisfying, with a lingering dryness that leaves the profile feeling clean and refreshed. A top notch pairing for charred rare lamb, this wine is sure to impress.

Well blended blend of hearty and sophisticated flavors, with a rich, gentle smoothness that coats the palate. The mild nuances of black cherry, fresh black pepper, and bay leaves are expertly well integrated by the smooth, fruity tones of black current and blackberry. The tail is long and satisfying, with a hint of salted caramel and a touch of herbs.
