Item Description

 

2008 Blankiet Estate Paradise Hills Vineyards  – Proprietary Red, signed by the owners, 1.5 L

95+ points, Robert Parker

Claude and Katherine Blankiet own this gorgeous hillside vineyard in the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains, just behind the large estate of Dominus.

Composed of 82.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and the rest tiny dollops of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the 2008 Paradise Hills Vineyard Proprietary Red has considerable richness, weight, texture, nuance and complexity. Aromas of chocolate, espresso, blackberries, black currants and charcoal / burning embers leads to a full-bodied, expressive, rich wine. Dense, full-bodied and eminently drinkable now, it should evolve for 20+ years. 

In Magnum, for the perfect celebration of your choice.
