The 2023 Paradise Hills Proprietary Red is a masterfully crafted wine from Blankiet Estate, exemplifying the elegance and power of this exceptional site. It opens up beautifully to reveal a layered bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries, laced with nuances of violets, crushed stones, graphite, and a touch of exotic spices. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, offering superb clarity and precision, with polished tannins that frame the dark fruit core beautifully. There’s a striking harmony between richness and restraint, with a silky mouthfeel that builds in complexity before leading to a tightly knit, mineral-driven finish. Poised and deeply expressive, this wine is built for the cellar, with the structure and depth to evolve gracefully over the next two decades. Patience will be well rewarded. Drink 2025 – 2050 – International Wine Report.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Appellation

Napa Valley

When it comes to New World wines, and especially wines from the United States of America, Napa Valley is something of a standard bearer. Over its relatively short history, it has managed to transform itself from being a fairly insignificant region, to becoming one of the most important and highly regarding wine locations on earth. With an ideal climate for viticulture, blazing sunshine and a low level of rainfall, this valley is shielded on many sides by mountain ranges which help it maintain a consistent level of heat, light and moisture throughout the year. Today, Napa Valley is a home of innovation and quality, with dozens of grape varietals thriving in the fertile soils. However, the main varietals grown there have always been Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel, and the wines they produce are constantly lauded by critics and competitions across the globe.

The 2023 Proprietary Red Paradise Hills Vineyard is one of the most elegant wines of the year. Strong savory Cabernet Sauvignon inflections and brisk acids announce an important wine, a wine built for the cellar. The purity of the flavors is just mind-blowing. Lavender, menthol, licorice, dried herbs and cool blue-toned fruit are all beautifully sculpted. The 2023 is so vivid. What a wine.

Blankiet's terrific 2023 Proprietary Red Paradise Hills Vineyard is a blend of 89.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.9% Merlot, 2.9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Delicate hints of sage and bay accent a mix of red and black cherries on the nose, backed by deeper bass notes of cassis. This full-bodied, silky-velvety wine is concentrated and long, with layers of plush tannins and reverberating notes of cedar, vanilla and luscious fruit.

Based on 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot and aged 18 months in 80% new French oak, the 2023 Proprietary Red represents the 25th harvest at Blankiet Estate from their Paradise Hills Vineyard on the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains above Yountville. Deep purple-hued, it offers an absolutely stunning perfume of darker currants, subtle cassis, sweet tobacco, and damp earth. It's medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, finely polished yet building tannins, and a great finish. It has a Bordeaux-like style in its structure and acid profile and is going to benefit from a solid 3-5 years of bottle age. Drink 2028-2048.
