"The Goal to produce world-class wines at Blankiet Estate has been accomplished, combining the extraordinary power of the site with unbelievable elegance and definition."
- Robert Parker
Blankiet Estate is nestled high on the western foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains above Yountville. The vineyard, named Paradise Hills, is planted on one of the most acclaimed viticultural areas of the Napa Valley. The estate was created in 1996 by Claude & Katherine Blankiet with the single vision of producing wines in the tradition of the great Bordeaux First Growth.
Summary
The Blankiet Proprietary Red Paradise Hills Vineyard 2000 is a refined Bordeaux blend from Napa, primarily featuring Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Crafted from rocky terrain, this wine showcases the elegance of the cooler 2000 vintage, offering aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, and violets, complemented by hints of cedar and mocha. It possesses fine tannins and a long finish, indicating its well-structured character. With an alcohol content of approximately 14%, this estate wine reflects the meticulous design of its vineyard by David Abreu and the expertise of renowned winemaker Helen Turley.
