“Aaron Pott turns out a gorgeous set at Blackbird… racy and bold, with tons of immediacy as well as allure.” – Vinous

You know Pott. And you know the now mythical 2023 vintage, rated 98 points by Vinous. This limited Cuvée somehow has not been reviewed yet, but every other ‘23 Blackbird rightfully sits in the 95-100 range. And most sail north of $150-$200.

Trust your Agents of Wine! This has all the hallmarks of the typical 95+ rated Blackbird wines Pott makes. Except for one - the price. Near 70% OFF drops this to just $59. All you need to do to manifest your own is decide how many bottles you want…

PRECISE. POWERFUL. POTENT. If that sounds like your kind of wine, please keep reading. Just do it quickly because today’s feature from Blackbird Vineyards is a total showstopper.

Anyone who knows Napa wine knows Blackbird. The winery was born from the famous vineyard by the same name, which supplied many a top name with prime fruit. Since 2003, they’ve been pumping out ultra-premium wines. Per Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW of The Wine Independent: “Aaron left the full-time position at Quintessa in 2007 to start his own label and became a consultant to other wineries. Quintessa, Seven Stones, Blackbird, and Fisher Vineyards were among his first clients. ‘Today I consult for Seven Stones, Blackbird, St. Helena Winery, Perliss Vineyard, Greer Vineyard, Martin Estate, Bernard Magrez Napa Valley, Fe Vineyards, Hoopes, and a couple of new guys, Remedium and Covalence Wines,’ Aaron told me.”

They add, “Like Bordeaux, Napa has a lot of consultant winemakers, and similarly, this is a ruthlessly competitive, often political business. One year of less-than-outstanding scores and some wineries will toss their consultant out like a corked bottle. Aaron Pott is one of Napa’s top winemakers operating in this sphere, yet he somehow manages to stay out of the politics games. With Aaron, what you see is what you get, and his clients, equally, are all about keeping it real.”

If you know Aaron’s style, you know what to expect here. Balanced all day. We’re talking blackberries and cassis, leather and torrefaction, mocha and tobacco, all layered perfectly in a deep, mouthcoating texture. Graceful yet structured, decant it for a while before you enjoy. Could lay it down another ten years, but really, it ‘manifests’ just lovely today.

Did we mention the nearly 70% OFF? A rare chance, going, going…
