Perhaps the finest wine yet made at Blankiet is the spectacular 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2005 combines the extraordinary power of this site with unbelievable elegance and definition. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue in addition to abundant aromas of smoky oak, blackberries, cassis, scorched earth, and coffee. This powerful, rich, super-pure,deep Cabernet’s finish lasts 45-50 seconds. The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard (1,200 cases) reveals a chocolaty espresso roast note with mocha, blackberry and cassis, high tannins,but full body, superb concentration, purity, and an almost Graves-like scorched earth character.
