WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The magic of Blueline Estate continues to wow us with the estates’ signature wine. The 2022 walks the perfect balance of elegance, brightness, and power. A blend crafted from Cabernet (80%), Petite Verdot (10%), Malbec (7%) and Cabernet Franc (3%) showcases Tony’s blending skill. Aromatics of ground coffee, wet gravel, forest ferns and barrel toast cascade with nuanced precision, winding through dramatic red and dark fruit tones. Dark sour cherry, red plum, pomegranate and blackberry translate powerfully from nose to palate. Rich silky tannins are countered with a tensional energy of mouthwatering natural acidity and the trademark Blueline minerality.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate is another high-quality wine. Ripe red and black fruits, spicy herbs, loamy earth, and some background oak all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate embodies the vintage in northern Napa Valley. The flavor profile is on the riper side, while the structure is undeniably light. Even with those challenges, the 2022 is well balanced.
