Tasting Note:May 29, 2018

Dark purplish ruby red. Deep and dark Napa valley floor nose with dark flowers, black and purple fruits, a touch blue too with some cinnamon. Heavy tannins (8/10) with a full body. Love the palate, loaded with lush and dark fruits, cinnamon, anise and a hint of dark cocoa. A bit of dark volcanic soil in the long finish.

First winery on our third day in Napa Valley is Paradigm Winery in Oakville with our amazing host, Mary Ann. First of the three Cabernet Sauvignons was this 2014. Made up of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot from their estate vineyard in Oakville. 14.5% Alc/Vol.
