2011 Blankiet Estate Paradise Hills Vineyard 'Prince of Hearts' Napa Valley

76% Cabernet Sauvignon/21% Merlot/2% Cabernet Franc/1% Petit Verdot

(91 Points) Blankiet’s Prince of Hearts Paradise Hills Vineyard is absolutely impeccable. Bright, floral and juicy, the 2011 impresses for its sense of proportion and harmony. Sweet spices, rose petals and raspberries flow through to the finish. The 2011 isn’t a huge wine, but it is without question one of the most delicious, pleasurable reds of the year, especially within its price range. The 2011 is 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and drops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. — Antonio Galloni Vinous Media
