Score 90/100 · Drink 2014-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2014

Dark red cherry, plums, tobacco, spices and leather are all laced together in the 2012 Arise, Blackbird's entry-level wine. Silky tannins wrap around the gracious, expressive finish. Merlot plays the leading role in an open, supple wine that showcases the house style very nicely.

Score 88/100 · Drink 2014-2022, Robert Parker, Oct 2014

The medium-bodied 2012 Proprietary Red Arise exhibits herb-tinged, chocolaty, red and blackcurrant flavors, good elegance, and a round, easygoing personality. Consume it over the next 7-8 years.
