International Wine Report (Oct. 2025) Review of 2023 Prince of Hearts Red, Paradise Hills Vineyard

Prince of Hearts Red Wine New

Review by Joe D’Angelo

Rating: (96)


“The 2023 Prince of Hearts Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking reflection of the vintage and a testament to the exceptional quality Blankiet continues to deliver. It opens with a vibrant symphony of ripe black cherry, dark cassis, and subtle graphite, seamlessly layered with floral nuances, spicy oak, mocha, and a delicate touch of fresh sage. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is beautifully textured and impeccably balanced, offering richness without excess and elegance without compromise. Silky, polished tannins provide structure and grace, carrying the wine through to a long, poised, and resonant finish. This is a remarkable Cabernet that delivers exceptional quality in its youth yet possesses the structure and complexity to continue evolving gracefully for years to come.”
