Paraduxx, Howell Mountain, Napa Valley (California) 2017

Aug 31, 2021

By Rich Cook

 This is a saucy, fruit forward swashbuckler of a blend – think full throttle Aussie Shiraz without any mint or menthol character and you have the concept.  Mild peppery notes help offset the ripe character and add some depth, and the juicy finish will keep you coming back for more.  A freshening minty note helps as well.  Contains 55% Malbec and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon.
