Hourglass
HG III Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Head out to Napa on Thursday morning for our annual trip, so it’s time to limber up and get ready for some amazing views, food, and wines!
I think I bought this a year ago for around $45. Wanted to give it a test drive since we are visiting Hourglass during our trip. Undeniably a fantastic value. Blackberry-compote, sweet graham cracker and raspberries dominate the nose. Balanced texture. Not quite pop and pour, but open for business after 30-45mins. Mexican vanilla, fig, and milk chocolate covered dates on the finish.
Definitely a wine to get me excited for the trip! Well done @Anthony Biagi

Imagine taking a deep breadth in the middle of an oak forest on a humid day.

Jul 1st, 2016As recommended by @Shay A, I think his notes on the 14 are correct. Definitely blueberry compote. There was still a fairly prominent background of tannins that were a touch more coarse than I otherwise like. Good food wine.

Apr 20th, 2020My first time trying this, and it is really terrific and a great value at the price point. Very full and complete on the palate. Lovely blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate with a hint of baking spices and vanilla. I would definitely buy this again. Kudos @Anthony Biagi !

Dec 9th, 2016Ordered 2013 but had to settle for the '14... Still worth the buy though!

Oct 1st, 2016This beauty starts with a cocoa powder and has a long voluptuous vanilla finish. Although still a baby, this elegant wine surely delivers
