Some of the top wines from this spectacular vintage are starting to close down, including this impressive beauty. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Proprietary Red EE Tench Vineyard is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Just a little more subdued than when I last tasted it, the nose features gorgeous blueberry pie, molten chocolate, plum preserves and mulberries notions with hints of camphor, cloves, earth and cigar box. Full-bodied and voluptuously endowed, with decadently velvet-textured tannins, the acid sits perfectly balanced in the background, finishing with epic length and so many layers. The way this is headed, I would not be surprised if it emerges in a few years hitting glorious, three-digit perfection. 1,403 cases were made.

2019 Blankiet Estate, Paradise Hills Vineyard Proprietary Red, Napa Valley 1x75cl
Blend: 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot
Vintage production: c.650 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.

2010 Cliff Lede, Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District 1x150cl
Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot
Vintage production: 4,314 cases
Cliff Lede's iconic Cabernet is the essence of the Estate's Stags Leap District terroir... in a glass. The fruit is sourced from the hillside terraces of the 'Grand Cru' Poetry Vineyard, the Twin Peaks Vineyard estate surrounding the winery, and a few neighbouring vineyards in the Stags Leap District.
The wine is composed of small lots from the best blocks, representing a diverse range of carefully selected clones and rootstocks. From Poetry’s exposed, rocky terraces boasting volcanic origins, to the ancient riverbed alluvial soils of Twin Peaks, the breadth of contributing sites translates into a wine of impressive complexity and longevity.

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.
