“From the original home of Hourglass—a four-acre parcel just east of Highway 29 that’s overlooked by Tychson Hill—the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate sings with exotic cherry and stone fruit elements, delicate florals and a hint of vanilla. It’s full-bodied and firmly tannic but ripe and just needs a bit more time before it reaches its full potential.” - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, 100% See Clone Cabernet Sauvignon on 110R rootstock, is an archetype of St. Helena Cabernet. Inky, intensely aromatic and pliant, the 2023 dazzles from start to finish. Boasting a gorgeous mid-palate and mind-blowing balance, the 2023 is a riveting young Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers the goods.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

“From an estate vineyard in St. Helena, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Hourglass Estate sports a deep purple hue as well as a stunning nose of ripe currants, smoked tobacco, spicy wood, and graphite. Based on 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot and aged 22 months in 100% new French oak, it’s incredibly complete, with full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It might be the finest vintage I’ve tasted of this cuvée. There are roughly 775 cases produced. Drink 2025-2055.” - Jeb Dunnuck

“The 2023 Hourglass Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 97% Cabernet Sauvignon (all See Clone) with 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly emerges from the glass with youthfully shy, fragrant notes of cassis, wild blueberries, and lilacs, opening out to hints of pencil lead and mossy tree bark. The full-bodied palate delivers a firm texture of beautifully ripe, grainy tannins and a refreshing line to support the densely packed black and blue fruit layers, finishing long and fragrant. This should be very long-lived!” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Palate
