2016 Blackbird Vineyards Paramour Red Blend
The 2016 Blackbird Vineyards Paramour Red Blend is a bold and elegant expression of Napa Valley, showcasing the winery's dedication to crafting Pomerol-inspired wines with a New World edge. Paramour leans heavily on Cabernet Franc, a nod to the Right Bank roots that have long influenced Blackbird’s approach. In the glass, it reveals rich notes of dark cherry, plum, and violet, interwoven with subtle layers of graphite, cocoa, and baking spice. The texture is supple yet structured, with refined tannins and a lingering finish that speaks to both finesse and age-worthiness. Founded in 2003 by Michael Polenske, Blackbird Vineyards quickly gained a reputation for its artisanal, Bordeaux-style blends, with a focus on precision and expressive varietals. The estate, located in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, takes its name from the French term “merle,” meaning blackbird—a reference both to the vineyard’s past life as a Merlot-focused property and to the melodic, artistic ethos the winery embraces. With each vintage, Blackbird continues to balance tradition and innovation, producing wines that capture the soul of Napa while paying homage to its Old World inspirations.
