With the addition of 2% Cabernet, the wine gains subtle depth and structure while allowing the Merlot to shine on both the nose and palate. Aromas of ripe dark plum, red cherry, and raspberry are interwoven with savory notes of black olive tapenade, hoisin, mandarin orange peel, and Herbes de Provence. The fruit character deepens and intensifies through the mid-palate, culminating in signature notes of black sour cherry and crème de cassis. From start to finish, the wine is seamless, showcasing an expansive, weighted, and rich texture that is balanced by natural acidity, supple tannins, and Blueline’s vibrant minerality.\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 98% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"pipProdProReviews\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pipProdProReviews_headline\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e92 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the Merlot at Blueline is about 30 years old, planted to Clone 341. The 2022 Merlot Blueline Estate features copious amounts of black cherry fruit that's ripe and supple. There's not that much complexity this vintage, but some nice cedar shavings and earthy overtones are woven into this full-bodied effort.
