Claude Blankiet —Claude Blankiet — who built his financial success as a business partner of Ralph Lauren and sold his stake in the iconic fashion brand to pursue his wine passion — purchased the Paradise Hills vineyard above Yountville in 1997 with a vision as personally complete and aesthetically intentional as anything the fashion industry produces.
✓
The Paradise HillsThe Paradise Hills Vineyard — a hillside property above Yountville with sweeping Napa Valley views and the specific clay and volcanic soil character that produces Cabernet Sauvignon of natural concentration and structural elegance — has been developed with the same attention to every detail that Claude Blankiet's fashion industry background instilled.

Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Paradise Hills Vineyard Estate
Yountville / Paradise Hills Vineyard
The singular Blankiet wine from Claude's Ralph Lauren-funded personal wine passion — Paradise Hills Vineyard Yountville Cabernet blend consistently earning 95–99 points from Wine Advocate for the most personally intimate and aesthetically intentional luxury Napa Valley Cabernet program produced by a former Ralph Lauren business partner from above Yountville.

Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Istos
Yountville / Paradise Hills Vineyard
Blankiet's second wine — Istos from the Paradise Hills Vineyard's most carefully identified second-selection Yountville estate lots, showing the hillside clay and volcanic character at a slightly earlier drinking window than the flagship Paradise Hills Vineyard Estate expression.
