This is a really nice Zin. The nose gives you pepper, red fruit, leather and a hint of mocha. All of those flavors continue on the palate. This Zin is nicely balanced in that it gives you the nice fruit, coats your mouth but is not overly thick, jammy or overripe. When Napa Zin is done this way, I'm a huge fan. Really nice Zin.

Even though we've enjoyed Paradigm Cab and Merlot for many years, this is the first time I've purchased the Zin. What was I waiting for? This is fantastic as you would expect from Paradigm. Too bad it's only available through the winery. After the Carlisle Papera, this is my second favorite '07 Zin.....and I've tried a ton of them!

Refined and balanced, not overly fruity. I like this style of Zin.

Dark fruit, pepper, spice, smokey oak. Little dry on the finish. Small amount of cab franc for length on the finish.
