2013 Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Note:May 29, 2018
Loved trying the difference between the 2014 and this 2013. Dark purplish red that completely coats the glass. Dark red berries with some black too on the nose with bark and blue fruits. Tannins build up especially on the backend (8/10) with a full body. Very dry with notes of dark spices, cinnamon, cassis, volcanic soil and black currants. Long finish.
First winery on our third day in Napa Valley is Paradigm Winery in Oakville with our amazing host, Mary Ann. Second of the three Cabernet Sauvignons was this 2013. Made up of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot from their estate vineyard in Oakville. 14.6% Alc/Vol.
