2012 Hourglass Blueline Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA (3L) Medoc and the tart flavor qualitiesTasting Notes: "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Blue Line, which sees about 70% new oak, is a sexy, open knit, lush, concentrated wine offering notes of fruitcake, blackcurrants, cedarwood, underbrush and wood spice. Powerful yet silky smooth, it should provide plenty of pleasure over the next 10 years." Robert Parker, 91pts
