Cabernet Sauvignon
Blueline Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena / Blueline Vineyard
Hourglass's most intimately urban-vineyard flagship — Blueline Vineyard downtown St. Helena benchland Cabernet with Bob Foley's winemaking precision consistently earning 93–96 points from Wine Advocate for the specific urban-adjacent alluvial and clay character that the 6-acre Blueline Vineyard's downtown St. Helena position produces in contrast to the hillside Estate Cabernet.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena / Hourglass Estate
Hourglass's hillside estate counterpoint — Estate Cabernet from the western St. Helena hillside above downtown showing the more elevated, rockier, volcanic character that contrasts with the Blueline Vineyard's urban-adjacent benchland expression in the most geographically intimate and personally educational single-producer comparative St. Helena Cabernet appointment.

★★★★☆
Merlot
Merlot
St. Helena / Hourglass Estate
Hourglass's most food-compatible cave-aged Bordeaux expression — St. Helena estate Merlot from the Adams Street underground cave-system estate showing the plush, food-first character that Bob Foley's winemaking precision and Jeff Smith's intimate urban-vineyard-adjacent cave tasting conviction produces in this Bordeaux variety.
