Blankiet Estate
Prince of Hearts Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
Quite good for 2011. Decanted 5 hrs and checked along the way. Really mellowed out and improved over that time. Very nice QPR

I know that PofH seems to be a darling with wine critics and has the reputation of a great 2nd label/QPR from Napa at around $70.
I may be swimming against the stream here but having recently opened 2009/10/11/12 I must admit to being a tiny bit underwhelmed.
I even have difficulties recognizing varietal characters aligned with Napa.
Perhaps I shall just pop them on the earlier side...??

(Please keep trash-talking the 2011-vintage from Napa and I'll cross my fingers that I win the Lotto so I can stock up).
GREAT wine!
