Another beautiful wine as well as a smoking value, the 2021 Merlot Blueline Estate (75% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, and tiny amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec) has lots of up-front plum and black cherry fruits supported by lead pencil, chocolate, and savory herb aromas and flavors. It's medium to full-bodied, has a ripe, supple mouthfeel, good mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. 800 cases.

The 2021 Merlot Blueline Estate is packed with super-ripe dark fruit, chocolate, dried herbs, lavender and licorice. Dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot add savory aromatics and a good bit of depth, too. This serious Merlot is beautifully done.
