Paraduxx Proprietary Red 2016

The only winery devoted to stylish Napa Valley blends, Paraduxx offers bold and expressive wines to satisfy the modern palate. Fusing the robust flavors of California’s native Zinfandel with the grandeur of Cabernet Sauvignon, the Pintail Blend embraces the best of these varietals. This unique combination results in a wine with rich, full fruit flavors and soft, elegant tannins.

An unusually minty cabernet for a modern Napa wine, but the delicate bitter-chocolate note is very modern. The elegant, moderately dry tannins and the crispness at the long finish make this super food-friendly for a red with almost 15 per cent alcohol.
