Wine Each Week – Paraduxx 2016 Howell Mountain Napa Valley Red Wine


Paraduxx is known for its blended wines. In fact that is its mission statement - to blend wines from Napa Valley to create the best possible assemblage. Their Napa Valley Red Wine is a wine I’ve had over multiple vintages and it is a wine that has literally never failed to impress. Comprised mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon with 35% Syrah blended in grown on Howell Mountain, this is a beautifully delicate wine with everything you want - subtle blueberry, black cherry, elderberry, boysenberry, soft judicious use of oak, vanilla, black cherry. But what makes this stand out is the harmonious nature of the fruit, the acidity, the oak to produce a seamless wine that is thoroughly enjoyable to drink and has a wonderful palate feel. But this is what Paraduxx excels at with their red table wines. That they manage to do this year after year shows an impressive level of consistency and dedication to producing the best wine they can.
