The Story

Blankiet's 'Bordeaux Medoc-blend' of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This wine is sheer power in a silk glove.

Paradise Hills Vineyard is located on the western foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains above Yountville in the cooler part of the Napa Valley. Grapes planted in this area take longer to mature on the vine allowing for riper tannins, darker pigmentation and deeply perfumed fruit. The vi...

Vintage 2021

The California 2021 vintage will be remembered for low yields with intensely-flavored, small-sized berries and a smooth and uneventful harvest season. The season started off with very little rain, leading to the 2nd year of drought conditions in Napa Valley, Harvest began early with white wine grapes picked on July 30th and red wine grapes beginning on August 31. While concerning in the long term, the drought of 2021 resulted in a more natural...

Written Notes

The 2021 Blankiet Estate Proprietary Red is an absolute benchmark bottling—a crystalline, soaring masterpiece born from low yields and exceptional hang-time on the Yountville foothills. Nearly black at its core, it surges from the glass with a spellbinding aromatic array of black cherries, iron ore, crushed violets, incense, sweet cigar wrapper, and licorice.Full-bodied yet vibrant, the palate is structured around fine-grained, architectural tannins and brisk, mouthwatering acidity, avoiding any trace of heaviness. Layers of savory dark fruit, graphite, and cocoa coat the palate with astonishing purity and laser-like persistence. A wine of sheer vitality and poise, the 2021 stands as one of the finest, most complete wines ever produced from Paradise Hills Vineyard.



  • 99p

A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.8% Merlot, 2.9% Cabernet Franc, and 2.3% Petit Verdot.


Deep, garnet-ruby colour. Dense and intense nose is complex and youthful has plenty of aromas from dark cacao to ripe dark berries from blackcurrants to brambles and blueberries. The aromas are topped with spicy, toasty, graphite and cedar notes. On palate, the wine is full-bodied with satiny texture. VIbrant fresh dark berry fruit is swaddled with toasty spiciness and dark chocolate flavours. Very refined and lingering palate. A classic Blankiet Proprietary Red being rich but not luscious. Although the wine is hold still back a bit, it is seductive but will show its true glory in 10 years from now. A perfect choice for Tournedos Rossini. – JL 97+p (Nov 2024)
