This is an interesting Cab-focused variation on the traditional Paraduxx blend, which is usually Zinfandel-focused. The Cabernet shines through in this wine, making the whole a little bit more weighty and structured--if a tad less hedonistic. Lots of good fruit, but the briar and red raspberry Zin notes are more of a background to the darker fruit and cassis Cab layers. Paraduxx is usually very good in its youth, this is probably a good candidate for another year or two of aging.

A nice blend of spicy Zin and round, plump Cabernet. Juicy plum and currant notes are backed with some Zin zing. Well done, medium bodied wine.

Candy apple nose. Big tannin, round but less fruit. Long finish. Opposite blend of the normal Paraduxx. Tasted at Paraduxx winery.
