NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Blankiet Proprietary Red is a highly regarded wine produced by Blankiet Estate, a prestigious winery located in the Napa Valley region of California.On the nose, Blankiet Proprietary Red offers a complex bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberries and black cherries, intertwined with notes of cassis and plum. These fruit aromas are complemented by hints of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging.
The palate of Blankiet Proprietary Red is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The flavors mirror the aromas, with ripe black fruits taking center stage, accompanied by layers of spice, dark chocolate, and a subtle earthiness. The wine displays excellent balance and structure, with a long and lingering finish.
Blankiet Proprietary Red is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully for several years, allowing its flavors to further develop and integrate. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
