The Paraduxx cab-zin blend from Napa’s Atlas Peak district is a muscular red shows impressive weight and depth while maintaining a modicum of elegance and balance, seemingly against all odds. Rich and layered on the palate, with ample tannins to support long-term cellaring, this vintage exhibits ripe, rich cassis and blackberry aromas, an overlay of oak spice, and an extremely long finish.
