Noteringar:
2008-04-25 16:45 IWC: By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #132, May/June 2007) (Blankiet Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard Napa Valley) Deep, bright ruby. Aromas of blackberry, minerals and licorice. Tightly wound and backward, with superb lift to its sappy, intense dark fruit and mineral flavors. Here the wine's firm acids combine with its serious tannic structure to give this extremely promising cabernet a youthfully tough finish, but this boasts exciting long-term potential. (93-96) points
2008-04-25 16:45 WA: The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard (1,200 cases) reveals a chocolatey espresso roast note with mocha, blackberry and cassis, high tannins, but full body, superb concentration, purity, and an almost Graves-like scorched earth character. This wine needs 3-4 years of bottle age, and should last 25-30 years. They don’t sell it, but for those on the mailing list or visitors, do check out their brilliant 2006 Rose, made by bleeding some of their tanks. It is really one of the best roses I have ever tasted, and it’s a shame one can’t buy it. Previously recommended: 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills (95+), 2003 Merlot Paradise Hills Vineyard (96). (Release date Fall 2008) Tel. (707) 963-2001; Fax (707) 963-2012
