Finally getting around to posting wines from my annual Napa trip from two weeks ago. Always goes by quick! Lots of fun new stops this year.

We returned to Hourglass after our visit in 2018 as the wines are just so enjoyable, but the tasting cave may be one of the coolest spots to enjoy a glass of wine.

Against the Blueline cab, this showed more ripe and rich. A true balance of red, blue and black fruits. Blueberry compote, graphite, soft oak integration, and a warmer profile. More nutmeg and espresso here compared to the Bluelines vanilla and herbal flair. Fig and Andes mint are added on the palate with a touch more silky profile. Possibly more approachable than the Blueline counterpart.
