Medium purple. Cassis leather and licorice on the nose. On the palate medium acid, full body high tannin. Pepper, plums, blueberries, black cherries, anise. Extremely long finish. Best merlot I've ever had and this is still drinking very young, will only get better. Incredible wine.

Lovely Merlot from Paradigm, classic plum notes but also berry berries a little chocolate. Good acidity and present tannins, which balance the fruit very well. 92 p
Paradigm Cabernet Franc 2016 85% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
At first a bit difficult to distinguish from the Merlot wine, but after some time in the carafe it became clearer thanks to paprika tones, crushed gravel. Lovely structure, well balanced. 93 p
Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc
Definitely the best wine of everyone who tried it. Nice complexity, here there is a clearer tannin structure and a wonderful acidity. All the typical elements of a good Cab Sauvignon, dark cherries, cassis, blackberries, cedar, pencil, cigar box and licorice. 94 p
All wines can easily last at least 10 more years in the cellar, no rush.

In a place now where I’m enjoying quality merlot. This one had intensity, complex flavors of chocolate, blackberries and leather.
