Parador Cellars
Hossfeld Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Perfectly aged #napavalley #cabernetsauvignon - The potential QPR stood out to me here on a wine list in downtown Napa. Bramble fruit balanced against softly earthy nose. Symmetrical acidity and fruit continues on palate, dreamy tannins on the finish. Excellent pairing with confit duck leg.

Sep 30th, 2015Needed some time to open up and level out, but once it did, it took us for a ride. First you get a strong flavor of crisp bell peppers, and an hour later you taste ripe plums and raisins. Then, after three hours in the decanter, you enjoy a very well-balanced, complex cab.
