Blankiet Proprietary Red 2012, crafted by Blankiet Estate in Napa Valley’s Yountville, is a luxurious Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The 2012 vintage offers a bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and plum, with layers of graphite, spice, and violets. The palate is rich and concentrated, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity that frame the opulent fruit. Notes of mocha, leather, and minerality add depth, while the finish is long and powerful. Blankiet’s meticulous winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and elegance. Perfect for pairing with grilled ribeye or aged cheeses, this Proprietary Red is a collector’s gem, reflecting Yountville’s terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a world-class Napa Valley blend with great aging potential.
