Blueline Estate Malbec
This is a gorgeous 6 year old Malbec from Napa Valley.
Showing black fruits with earth, cedar, leather, chocolates, tobacco, licorice, vanilla, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Full bodied, bold, smooth and spicy. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.
This Single Vineyard is very fruity, especially on the nose. Interesting and tasty.
Good by itself or with food and good right out of the bottle.
Tasty and delicious. Definitely the best Malbec I've ever had from Napa Valley.
Thank you Barry for sharing.
100% Malbec grapes were aged for 17 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$100.

This is the 2015 out of barrel. It's perhaps their best Malbec to date. The dark fruits were beautiful with dark & light chocolate and lots of savoy grilled meats at this stage. A big thank you to Marybeth for her wonderful hospitality. Enjoyable afternoon.

Apr 18th, 2020Floral, herb and spice on the nose. Excellent flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, plum and pomegranate. Silky tannins and great acidity. Finish is lush and long. Hourglass knows how to make Great Malbec!

Aug 12th, 2016This Malbec gave aromas mostly from the added Petit Verdot. Disappointing to say the least.
