Tasting Notes
Jeb Dunnuck 96
More ripe and sexy, the 2015 Asterisk boasts a deep purple color as well as a monster bouquet of tobacco leaf, black truffle, blackcurrants, Asian spices, and chocolate. This beauty is full-bodied, has a wealth of fruit, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It’s a powerful, opulent wine to enjoy over the coming 20-25 years or more.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2045
Robert Parker 94
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Asterisk comes charging out of the gate with exuberant black and red cherries, warm cassis and raspberry pie scents plus hints of cigar box, Indian spices, rose hip tea and charcuterie with a faint waft of dusty soil. Full-bodied and firmly textured, with bags of red and black fruits, the palate is laced with loads of spicy accents, and it finishes long and perfumed.
Anticipated maturity: 2018-2035

2019 SLOAN ESTATE, ASTERISK Proprietary Red, Rutherford 6x75cl
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
Vintage production: 500 cases
Since its debut with the 2004 vintage, ASTERISK Proprietary Red represents an alternate, elegant and... compelling expression of the terroir. Charming and bold, it is made from mostly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Produced under the same obsessive attention to detail and unyielding standards as SLOAN, ASTERISK is driven and intense, offering an explosion of complex aromas and flavours. While it holds the promise of aging potential, it's almost impossible to resist from release.

2018 Blankiet Estate, Paradise Hills Vineyard Rive Droite, Napa Valley 1x75cl
Blend: 96% Merlot,4% Cabernet Franc
Vintage production: 298 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.

2018 Lerner Project, Napa Valley Project 18 Cabernet Sauvignon 1x150cl
Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc
Vintage production: 690 cases
The Project 18 is a unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Tench Vineyard in Oakville, right next to... Screaming Eagle, with Cabernet Franc and Merlot from the cool-climate Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard. Many of winemaker Russell Bevan's previous wines from Sugarloaf have been likened in style to Château Cheval Blanc, so this is truly a mouth-watering prospect!
