Owned by Ren and Marilyn Harris who purchased Paradigm in 1976 and began producing wine with the 1991 vintage. Marilyn is a third generation grower in Napa Valley and Ren has been farming since the 1960’s. A blend of 98% Merlot & 2% Cab Sauvignon, aged for 20 months in French Oak. Dark Ruby with sweet black berry fruit aromas with notes of toasty oak. On the palate black cherry and blackberry flavors with pepper and vanilla oak spice on smooth fine tannins, nicely done. Lingering finish ending with toasty oak tones.

1 person found it helpfulOct 26th, 2017When first opened this was lush and sexy. With time the aromas became faded and the structure fell out of balance. Holding up well with dark plum, chocolate, and herb notes. Med complexity and med length. #paradigm #merlot #napavalley #oakville #california #usa #ctbucklinwine
