PNP, this wine is very aromatic. In the glass a garnet and a palate very mature with tertiary flavors. Was a fun wine to contrast the 09 Hourglass with the 18 Blueline Merlot.
If you like a mature wine this one is pretty good.
Great balance of CA cab aromas and dark berry fruit flavors. I love the smells, and I especially enjoy the eucalyptus that Blueline brings. Delightful!

Me likey, still a great wine. Lots of dark blue and red crimson fruits are swirled together. Great dusky nose. Drank over 2 days and even better the 2nd. Not in any way a 2nd to the namesake wine. It stands alone and is equally forceful in this vintage. Go get one if you can.

Excellent wine. Coravined several months ago so I finished the bottle. Big juicy California Cab. Lots of red fruits and seemed to be losing its gripping tannins. Still has plenty of years left to lay down and cellar for a long time. Went superbly with or without fruit. Enjoyable experience.
