From an estate vineyard in St. Helena, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Hourglass Estate sports a deep purple hue as well as a stunning nose of ripe currants, smoked tobacco, spicy wood, and graphite. Based on 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot and aged 22 months in 100% new French oak, it's incredibly complete, with full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It might be the finest vintage I've tasted of this cuvée. There are roughly 775 cases produced. Drink 2025-2055.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is one of the very finest wines I have tasted at Hourglass, if not the finest. Deep, inky and explosive, the 2023 stains the palate with inky dark fruit, graphite, incense, new leather and pencil shavings. This vertical, statuesque Cabernet is a total looker. All of this fruit is See Clone on 110R rootstock. St. Helena dialed up to eleven.
