2016 Blankiet Estate, Paradise Hills Proprietary Blend, Napa Valley - Magnum

Claude and Katherine Blankiet’s Paradise Hills Vineyard is managed with a focus on high-density planting and precise viticultural stewardship to produce an estate-bottled expression of concentrated phenolic depth. Located on the eastern-facing foothills of the Mayacamas in Yountville, the site is defined by its complex volcanic soils and alluvial fans that facilitate natural drainage and promote structural intensity. The 2016 vintage benefited from a temperate growing season with cool nocturnal shifts, preserving high levels of natural acidity and enabling the development of sophisticated, fine-grained tannins. This magnum format emphasizes the Proprietary Blend’s architectural weight and mid-palate density, grounded by a persistent mineral tension derived from the estate’s rocky terroir.
