Robert Parker Wine Advocate:
Another compelling wine was the 2012 Rive Droite, which is Blankiet’s homage to Right Bank Pomerols from Bordeaux. A blend of 95.8% Merlot and 4.2% Cabernet Franc, there are 380 cases of this sexpot of a wine. This could easily be mistaken for a Napa Valley version of Petrus. Loads of mulberry fruit, licorice, crème de cassis, mocha and toffee are present in this huge, full-bodied, super-opulent and luscious wine. This is about as seductive and rich as dry wine can be, and the wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 15-20 years. This is a killer effort! Their cuvée of all the culled out lots is called the Prince of Hearts. Drink Date 2016-2036. Rating 99/100. -Robert M. Parker, Jr.-
Vinous:
The 2012 Rive Droite Paradise Hills Vineyard, Blankiet's Merlot-based red is deep, opulent and expressive. Black cherry, plum, mocha, spice and leather all meld together in a sumptuous, sensual red that captures the personality of the year in spades. The blend is 95.8% Merlot and 4.2% Cabernet Franc. Rating 94/100. -Antonio Galloni-
