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. — 5 years ago
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 ! — 5 years ago
Phenomenal wine. Amazing finish. @Anthony Biagi does it again. A new era for Hourglass. #biased — 4 years ago
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. — 5 years ago
Such a tasty Pinot. Loads of raspberry, cherry, clove, and vanilla. Soft on the nose, explosive flavors on the pallet. Great job @Anthony Biagi , loving Amici wines more and more! — 5 years ago
