Paraduxx, Atlas Peak, Napa Valley (California) 2016

Feb 26, 2020

By Robert Whitley

 This blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon comes from viticultural royalty.  The Sangiovese is sourced from the acclaimed Antinori vineyard and the Cabernet from the iconic Stagecoach Vineyard.  Both of these exceptional Atlas Peak vineyards possess a long and storied history.  One of the claims to fame both share is extraordinary structure, a result of the cool Atlas Peak microclimate.  This vintage exhibits remarkable fruit purity, showing notes of cherry, blackberry and cassis nicely framed with a touch of wood spice and a subtle hint of graphite.
