Wine Advocate
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate was aging in 90% new French oak when I sampled it in February 2025. The harmonious nose offers up softly dusty earth, dried spices and mixed red and black cherries, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is silky and supple while retaining a linear shape and ample structure, finishing with great length.

Jeb Dunnuck
Ultra-classic and lights-out good, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate is based on 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 5% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec, aged for 22 months in 80% new French oak. Red and black fruits, spicy wood, tobacco, and savory herb and chocolate nuances all emerge from this beauty, which is medium to full-bodied, balanced, has fine tannins, and a great finish. It does everything right and is well worth your time and money. There are roughly 990 cases produced. Drink bottles any time over the coming 15-20 years. Drink 2025-2045.

Vinous
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueline Estate is an elegant, sophisticated wine. This has closed down quite a bit since I last tasted it, but that should not be an issue in another few years' time. Deep layers of red-toned fruit, blood orange, pomegranate, cedar and new leather build as this potent, strapping Cabernet shows off its personality. There's a lot of wine here. All this needs is time to emerge from its shell.
