Hourglass Wine Company
HourglassTM is a single vineyard 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The four acre vineyard is located in the St. Helena appellation of Napa Valley, just off of Lodi Lane. Our neighbors include Grace Family, Colgin, Vineyard 29, Duckhorn, Freemark Abbey and several other well respected Cabernet producers. The hillside vineyard is located at the narrowest section of Napa Valley in what is essentially the "pinch" of the hourglass shaped Valley. The unique microclimate of the vineyard site, which includes three different topographies (and three sub-climate ripening zones), combined with the extreme drainage of porous rocky soils, the unusual Cabernet C clone and east facing sun exposure yields a complex and deeply structured Cabernet.

The ’08 Hourglass Blueline Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and deeply concentrated. Doughy blackberry pie - think of the wafting intoxication as a freshly baked pie cools - sweet, yeasty dough. Yum!!

Enchanting floral aromatics of crushed rose petals and candied violets weave with toasted espresso and graphite minerality. Beguiling! The 2008 Cab Franc is deep in ripe dark fruit character with notes of cassis and blackberry, a result of the long, warm growing season of Calistoga and the gravelly soils of ... more
