Outstanding wine from Blankiet. Got to spend some time here in August, and the estate looks like a small piece of Bordeaux. The estate is in Yountville, in their little corner called Paradise Hill. What you get is a Bordeaux style wine, showing Napa fruit, but not jammy rich density that Napa Cabs tend to equate to. Blended with all 5 Bordeaux varietals and usually at least 78% Cab Sauv, it shows a fragrant, floral nose with fresh pressed red berries and light gravel dust undertones. The pallet is lush and very elegant, showing ripe black plum and red apple skin, nice olive undertones, with some clove spices and a beautiful lingering finish. This is for the Bordeaux lover that wants Napa. 2013 was a successful vintage, thanks for another great wine Blankiet! #blankiet

Very good second label. Dirty/dusty black fruit. A little closed on day one but maybe that’s because somebody stored it in the fridge

Carmel and milk chocolate packs a big, but soft punch bit dusty long finish. Extremely well balanced

I initially had this rated lower trying to handicap it for being a 2013, served blind this would be hard to pick out as a second wine. Did Claud mix up the barrels? That's a joke by the way. Firing on all cylinders, restrained fruit, rich tannins and an acid balance, delivers from the bouquet on the nose to the finish.
