“Outstanding 96 Points” Supple and elegant with bright aromas of nutty oak, mocha and tobacco that leap out of the glass. Big, lush and spicy, this is made in a rich style with notes of black cherries, black currants and coffee. Firm yet plushy tannins and a finish that won’t stop, this is a tremendous wine for the money. The Wine Insiders Blankiet Estate Cabernet Napa ($189) “Classic 98” Rating ROBERT PARKER: “The 2007 Proprietary Red Wine has that “great” vintage look to it. Sweet tannins, an extraordinary fragrance (the same array of aromas as in the 2006, but even more concentrated blackberry and cassis fruit as well as touch of graphite), a full-bodied, opulent style with, analytically, high tannins, this is a 30-year effort. However, it should be approachable when released because of the nobility/sweetness of the tannins as well as the low acidity. This is a brilliant, full-throttle, complex effort that is worth a special effort to find and purchase.”
