What a nice find ! I’m Leary of the 2020 vintages from Napa due to the fires, but this vintage was excellent. A dark purple well balanced Cabernet shows itself well . At $70 per bottle this is a solid value . Complex and a nice finish , it reminds me of some of my favorite California cabs . Of course , having a link from Duckhorn and Winemaker of the year Tony Biaggi always helps ! — 9 months ago

This red blend starts a bit harsh . But after you take that first big swallow , the subsequent swallows are nice . Plenty of structure and flavors , this is a nice value at $30 per bottle . — 2 years ago

Winemaker Tony Biaggi won winemaker of the year in 2020 for the 2018 Hourglass estate cab ! This is a stunning wine with grapes grown on 4 acres in the Hourglass Napa vineyards and superbly made ! A perfect 10 ! If you find this wine , buy it ! — 2 years ago

Smooth , fruit forward , minimal tannins . I would purchase the lower end Chianti next time . Not worth $42 . It’s decent but not significantly better than the $20 bottle . — a year ago

Hourglass is a superior Napa winery ! The blue line estate is excellent and the Hourglass Estate Cab (if you’re lucky enough to find it ) is exceptional ! I’ll give the Blueline estate a 9.6 and the Hourglass Estate a perfect 10. Enjoy ! — 3 years ago
