Lush, balanced and beautiful. The 2016 Paradigm Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is medium-bodied with aromas of black cherry, cassis, and subtle notes of cedar, bay leaf, and tobacco. On the palate, it offers ripe fruit flavors reminiscent of berry and cherry pie, balanced by moderate tannins and a lingering finish. Bought at the winery - IIRC it was aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, with only about a third being new oak. The result is a balanced and delicious wine that could age for years to come. — a month ago

DEEP red color, almost black and non-see-through. Big fruit forward nose, jammy dark ripe fruits, with hints of blood orange and violet peppered in. A big fruit palate with hints of graphite, vanilla and wood, with tight tannins that hang on and don’t let you forget, with a lithe, tight acidity that shows that it still needs some time to reach its peak, despite the pedigree. This is a prime example of modern Napa cab, dry but fruity, but bombs, American as hell, distinctive and brash, and not ready to play on the big stage, but lots of potential. — a month ago
Great cab, with a softer approach than many CA cabs at this price point. In TN with Don. — 2 months ago

Wow. This this is everything you could want it a wine. It’s big and bold. The aroma pops right out of the glass and fills the room. My son who I usually go to for commentary on the nose said there was no need for me to pass the glass. He said it was liked you open up a huge bottle of fruit punch. The aromatics were amazing and the taste on the palate was just as big. Delicious and a long finish to bring it home. This was great. — 9 days ago
