Comprising the bulk of the Blueline Estate fruit, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate was aging in 90% new French oak when I sampled it in February 2025. The harmonious nose offers up softly dusty earth, dried spices and mixed red and black cherries, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is silky and supple while retaining a linear shape and ample structure, finishing with great length.
95-97 points, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate (Jun 2025)
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate is a super-classic wine. Bay leaf, sage, menthol, licorice and dried herbs give the 2023 a decidedly savory quality that reminds me of wines from the 1970s. The 2023 includes a block of Clone 4 Cabernet that does not usually go into this blend but really lends this an old-school profile. Equally bold, incisive tannins add to that impression. This is absolutely compelling.
