Hourglass HG III Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Tara Rowland

Classic Napa - a little heavy on the new oak but again that’s classic Napa as well.

Kevin Ortzman

Ripe Blackberry, black currant and a hint of eucalyptus. Palate loaded with blackberry fruit and a touch of toasted vanilla.

Is it ground hog day...I swear we did this yesterday

Charlie Tapp

Dark blue fruit, vanilla, red fruit and oak. Merlot + Cab + Petite Sirah.

Willie Carter

Deep, impenetrable garnet in the glass with a big nose of plums, a hint of green pepper, candied cherries, and cinnamon. This is all primary here, and it’s beautiful. Merlot heavy Napa blends can get stale and boring in a hurry, unless you start with beautiful fruit and talent. Well structured with silk on the tongue and firm tannins. There’s a defined streak of chocolate mousse throughout that keeps things fun. And have I mentioned how sexy these legs are? More fruit on the palate with black cherries and blueberries to go with cocoa beans and just a touch of leather. This is a fruit forward, certainly. But a fruit forward Napa bottle done right.

This is a very nice if somewhat straightforward wine. Polished low tannins and interesting melange of blue fruits.

Thank you David Stevens at 750 Wines for introducing us to his guitar playing partner’s (Jeff Smith) wine! HG III is a great blend of mostly Merlot, thus giving it a velvety plushness and dark fruits.

Joe Lucca

Rockin’ Cab blend. Needs an hour or so in the decanter to get going. This was another quick pop n pour to toast @Frank on this Thanksgiving eve.

Best deal out there.
