Very lovely CS. I give the edge to Blueline, however very close. Great balance of fruit and veiny acid.

Rich & ripe blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries, plum, dark cherries, lean strawberries spice, strong dusty tannins, anise, big minerality; dry stones & crushed rocks, dry floral bouquet, good structure, high acidity with a round, full, rich, ripe elegant finish that last 30-40 seconds.

Winemaker Tony Biaggi won winemaker of the year in 2020 for the 2018 Hourglass estate cab ! This is a stunning wine with grapes grown on 4 acres in the Hourglass Napa vineyards and superbly made ! A perfect 10 ! If you find this wine , buy it !

Sometimes you just have to! Thank you @Shay A for assessing the Estate CS might be more accessible than Blueline Vineyard! Justification accepted (lol) this wine is delicious. Two hr. decant w/fair amount of sediment.
Balance between fruit, earth and minerals is so nice!
I had more detailed notes; Delectable App was doing a thing; pass on typing everything again! 🤷‍♀️. Short course great bottle of wine!

Lots of blueberries, blackberry & cherries. Nice balanced tannins. Looking forward to tasting it again in a few years.

This is so young and needs a lot of time to mellow in bottle but damn does it have the makings of a beautiful wine
