Product Description
JD98+ "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is based on 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and the rest close to an even split of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A more brooding, backward wine, it reveals a dense purple hue to go with primordial notes of black and blue fruits, graphite, crushed stone, smoked tobacco, and a hint of violets. As with all these latest releases from Blankiet, the purity is just about off the charts, it's flawlessly balanced, and has ample structure as well as a great finish. This magical Cabernet is desperately in need of 4-6 years, if not a decade of bottle age, but will be very long-lived." JD Jan 2021
AG98 "Blankiet’s 2018 Proprietary Red Paradise Hills Vineyard soars out of the glass with breathtaking aromatics. Bright and focused, the 2018 is also an infant that is going to need time. I have seen wines from this site age exquisitely well. I imagine that will be the case here as well. Dried herbs, lavender, spice and menthol weave through a core of dark-fleshed fruit, all leading to a gorgeous, resonant finish. So impressive." AG for VM Jul 2023
