Enjoyed by all. Elegantly styled. Still has cellar life. (2725 views) | | | Tasted by PVTerroir on 11/1/2008 & rated 91 points: Paradigm makes a great Cabernet Sauvignon, but I believe they make a nearly transcendent Cabernet Franc! This area of Oakville is home to Harlan, Detert, Far Niente, and several lucky growers - Beckstoffer, etc. Year after year, this is fantastic - creamy and round mouthfeel, beautiful fruit and earthiness with a lingering finish. Always a treat. Needs a decanting.

On the palate, medium-bodied with raspberry, cherry and spice on the end of the medium length finish. (2535 views) |
| Paradigm Producer websiteCabernet Franc Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wines & Vines articleUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Oakville |
