Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Vinous 92
The 2013 Merlot is dark, intense and flavorful, with an intriguing combination of intense fruit and the savory/mineral overtones that are typical of Howell Mountain. Iron, smoke, game, tobacco and licorice are some of the signatures. Far from an easygoing wine, the Merlot has more than enough richness to drink well for a number of years, along with the tannic heft of a mountain wine.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2025
Robert Parker 92
A chunky 100% Merlot, the 2013 offers gorgeous toffee, black cherry and mocha notes as well as some chocolate. It has beautiful density, a plump, corpulent, medium to full-bodied texture, and a luscious finish. This is a sexpot of a Merlot fruit bomb to drink over the next 8-10 years.
Anticipated maturity: 2016-2025

Blend: 49% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
Vintage production: 1,100 cases
Blankiet Estate is nestled above Yountville on the western foothills of the Mayacamas... Mountains. ?The Paradise Hills Vineyard is carved on steep hillsides just above the famed Dominus Estate Napanook parcel that was originally planted in 1838 by Yountville’s founder, George C. Yount.
With an ideal eastern exposure, the land is bathed with morning sun and benefits from natural shade in the hot afternoons, and cool breezes from the San Pablo Bay flow constantly across the land. It's located on three volcanic knolls where soil profiles vary from deeply fractured rocks and volcanic ash, to thick clay deposits, meaning each parcel is distinguished by a unique subsoil and microclimate.
At just 6.5 hectares in size it's a remarkably small site, yet the incredible complexity of the terroir allows for three distinct wines, each of a singular style. This is an Estate at the top of its game. Combined with the very talented winemaker Graeme MacDonald and owner Claude Blankiet's attention to detail, is truly worthy of an exploration.
