Note di degustazione
There are two monumental wines in the lineup. First up, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Hourglass Estate offers an insane bouquet of pure black fruits, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and hints of mint to go with a full-bodied, incredibly layered and seamless profile on the palate. It has plenty of structure yet just glides over the palate, is perfectly balanced, and has a finish that won’t quit.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has an extra kick of tension and energy to play off the dense, layered fruit. Iron, smoke, sweet red cherry, mint and chalk notes perk up the dense fruit. The 2016 has developed very nicely in bottle. I would prefer to give the 2016 a few years to allow the tannins to soften a bit further. The Estate is 100% See Clone Cabernet.
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Hourglass Estate is deep purple-black in color and offers up notes of baked blackcurrants, plum preserves, blackberry jam and violets with touches of licorice, black soil and cracked pepper. Full-bodied, rich and decadent in the mouth, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with great length.
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate capture all the personality of this striking St. Helena site. Espresso, chocolate, blueberry jam, lavender, mint and spice are all wonderfully deep in this fleshy, unctuous Cabernet Sauvignon. There is so much to look forward to in this undeniably racy, inviting Cabernet from Hourglass.
