The Winery
Blankiet Estate
"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 Rive Droite Paradise Hills Vineyard 2014 is a Merlot-dominant blend, with a touch of Cabernet Franc, crafted to reflect the elegance of Bordeaux's Right Bank. Sourced from the meticulously farmed Paradise Hills estate in California, this wine showcases a rich profile with notes of dark stone fruit, mocha, and espresso. The palate is enveloping, presenting a luxurious texture without being overly heavy. The wine is layered and deep, embodying the best elements of the challenging 2014 vintage while maintaining balance and finesse. This limited production cuvée, made from the low-yielding vineyards, highlights the artistry of its meticulous crafting process.
