The Ambassador Blueline Estate Red Blend 2011

Awaiting correction, but this is the Blueline Estate, Ambassador Cuvée. Not familiar with this and no info on the website. Hoping @Anthony Biagi can shed some light. 240 bottles produced, so initially thought a single barrel wine. Hmm.. no Varietal listed, so now thinking a blend. Gave this four hours of air on Christmas Eve. Shy on the nose to start, but smooth and elegant with blackberry. Merlot? Nose is more open on night two. Cab Franc? Some menthol sneaking in on the nose as well. Whatever composition of a Bdx blend it is, it is a treat to drink and putting a positive note on the 2011 vintage. — 7 years ago

HG III Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

My first time trying this, and it is really terrific and a great value at the price point. Very full and complete on the palate. Lovely blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate with a hint of baking spices and vanilla. I would definitely buy this again. Kudos @Anthony Biagi ! — 8 years ago

@Carl Fischer This was down in Atlantic City at the Knife and Fork Inn. Tony mentioned he is doing a bit of a northeast tour this week and next. If you have the chance to do one of these, jump on it. Tony is a true entertainer and the wines are great; especially pouring multiple vintages side by side to see the differences.

St. Helena Cabernet Franc 2014

The @Bill Bender of wines. A sexy, masculine, suave enticer that brings you earthy, smoky, deep black fruit and spice. Probably my favorite Cab Franc of recent history. @Anthony Biagi , thank you for constructing such a gorgeous, agile monster that will deliver enjoyment for decades to come. — 7 years ago

One of the next Amici vintages yet! Depth and complexity, beautiful tannin integration, mineral... Anthony Biagi is doing wonders in his new role at Amici! Feels like there's a touch of Oakville fruit in this blend too.. — 8 years ago

This still needs time, but blossomed after open for 1.5 hours. For a 15% wine it's not hot, purity of fruit, cassis and blue flowers. Killer. Tony Biagi is a very good winemaker. M — 10 years ago
