2010 Blankiet Estate Prince of Hearts Paradise Hills Vineyard

Critical Acclaim

“Blankiet’s 2010 Prince of Hearts Paradise Hills Vineyard offers up gorgeous aromatics, refined fruit and a total sense of harmony from the very first taste. Juicy red berries, plums, roses and cinnamon meld together in this effortless, gracious wine. In 2010 the Prince of Hearts boasts lovely depth and roundness backed by the acidity and vibrancy of this great vintage. All of the Blankiet hallmarks are in the glass. If that sounds appealing, believe me, it is. This is a fabulous effort. At many estates, this would be the top wine; here it is the second label. Incidentally, Prince of Hearts is the most fairly priced among the second wines of Napa Valley’s elite properties. The 2010 is 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and a drop of Petit Verdot.” – 93 Atonio Galloni, Wine Advocate

“Good bright ruby-red. Lovely floral perfume to the aromas of redcurrant, minerals, tar and leather. Not yet as complex in the mouth as the nose suggests, showing a slight herbal edge to the dark berry, cherry and menthol flavors. Finishes juicy, firmly tannic and persistent, with ethereal notes of herbs and spices.” – 92 Stephen Tanzer’s, International Wine Cellar
