Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2016 750ml
Heidi Barret has been the winemaker at Paradigm since their first vintage in 1991 when they started using some of their grapes to make wine instead of simply selling them to other nearby wineries. Heidi’s philosophy in making wines for Paradigm is simple. She feels that she is working with an extraordinary vineyard site that has been farmed impeccably for years. She lets the fruit from this vineyard express its quality and unique terroir with minimal intervention.
Critical Acclaim
90 Jeb Dunnuck
Pretty cassis and blackberry fruits as well as notes of cedar pencil, spicy oak, and tobacco emerge from the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville. Medium-bodied, it has a balanced, elegant texture, moderate tannins, and a good finish. It's a complex, classy wine to enjoy over the coming decade or more. This is a classic, workhorse styled Cabernet from winemaker Heidi Barrett with lots to love. The blend is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, all aged 20 months in French oak.
