Hourglass Blueline Estate Merlot 2020

The 2020 Hourglass Blueline Estate Merlot is laser focused and the purest expression of the varietal and vineyard to date. Subtle nuances of Mandarin orange peel intertwine with boysenberry, sour cherry, and black olive. The nose translates to the palate with a deep, brooding core of black fruit and crame de cassis dominating the mid-palate. Elegance and power, sleekness and density, natural acidity and blueline minerality uplift harmoniously and provide an unquestionable balance.
