Blankiet Estate
Paradise Hills Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
A $200 bottle that I actually think is worth it. Really masterful display of full mouthfeel, not overbearing nor lacking, and such an incredibly precise amount of oak influence that could only be described as a perfectly integrated use. I tasted this wine and said to myself "I bet this is a 96 Parker." Whatever that means anymore... Lovely wine that has exceptional control and restraint.

Feb 27th, 2016Rich yet perfumed with black currant, sweet herbs, and dried spice. Lush, silky yet finessed on the palate, with black cherry, chocolate and remnants of oak. Still grippy on the finish, yet in a beautiful place tonight.

May 15th, 2015Much better than the first model I had nearly 5 years ago. Quite enjoyable, but nothing to write home about.
