Tasting notes
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate 36-24-36 is a barrel selection that incorporates a splash of Petit Verdot. Aged 22 months in new and older barrels, it offers most toasty oak as well as classic Cabernet notes of blackcurrants, graphite, Asian spices and licorice. It’s a ripe, impressively concentrated, even structured, 2014 that has terrific purity, ripe tannin and a great finish. Enjoy this beauty over the coming 15+ years.

As for the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate, this wine is an outstanding wine from Tony Biagi. Classic blackcurrant notes intermixed with forest floor, underbrush, cedar wood and spice box are present in this full-bodied wine that is meant to be drunk over the next 10-15 years.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline is plump, juicy and forward, all qualities that make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and tobacco are all pushed forward. This is a soft, fruit-driven style for the year, but there is enough backbone to support at least a handful of years in the cellar. Dollops of Malbec and Petit Verdot round out the blend.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline is wonderfully alive and vibrant in the glass. Crème de cassis, blueberry jam, spice, new leather and white flowers race across the palate. Powerful, dense and inky to the core, the 2014 possesses marvelous concentration and opulence.
