Written Notes

A monumental, classical expression from a pristine, late-ripening Napa Valley growing season, the 2023 Blankiet Estate Proprietary Red displays vivid energy, architectural balance, and aristocratic restraint. Pouring an inky purple-garnet, it slowly reveals an intensely fragrant bouquet of crushed crème de cassis, wild mountain blueberries, graphite, dried lavender, and cool pipe tobacco, interwoven with nuances of damp forest earth, dark cocoa, and gravel dust. On the palate, the wine balances full-bodied concentration with a seamless, medium-weight lift, defined by laser-precise natural acidity and chiseled, multi-layered tannins that carry the mineral-laced black fruit into an extraordinarily long, tension-filled finish. Built for decades of cellaring, this is a tour de force from Graeme MacDonald that unites Napa power with Left Bank Médoc finesse.
