Nose

aromas of warm blackberry pie (jammy pungent dark fruit with yeasty dough), black cherry, cassis, and plums are followed by a slight hint of toasted sage, bay leaf, and fennel.

Palate

On the palate this Cab has wonderful flavors of black cherry, plum sauce, tobacco, and soy with a long, rich finish. The warmer climate of Blueline delivers polished tannins with a silky texture and broad mouth feel.

Aging
