James Suckling, 94 Points 

"A big, rich red with lots crushed berries and chewy tannins. Full-bodied, tannic and muscular. Very fruity, too. Rolls off the palate. Needs time to soften. 87% cabernet sauvignon, 8% petit verdot and 5% malbec. Try after 2020." 

Jeb Dunnuck, 94 Points

"The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate comes from clones 338 and 337 and has beautiful Cabernet character in its blue fruits, graphite, crushed flowers, and rocky minerality. Nicely structured, medium to full-bodied, and with subtle oak, it’s a beautiful, classic wine from this estate that’s going to evolve for upwards of two decades." 

Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate, made of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec, sings of warm blackberries, cassis and wild blueberries with hints of plum preserves, menthol, stewed tea and tobacco plus a touch of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers bags of expressive black fruits, framed by grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy."
