The 2009 Merlot Blueline is a mid-weight wine layered with juicy dark fruit, sweet vanilla, alcohol and oak. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. These wines from Hourglass are made in an up-front, juicy style that emphasizes fruit. I found many of the wines distinctly sweet and alcoholic, with little to offer in the way of varietal definition. I also tasted a number of older vintages, and while the wines do hold, they don’t materially improve over time. Tel. (707) 968-9332
