2009 Paraduxx P Blend Napa Valley Red Wine
Sold Out
Formerly known as our Parajaxx Zin/Petit Verdot blend, the P blend is the evolution of this series.
Striking a balance between Petit Verdot's classic wild berry and tobacco elements and Zinfandel's red raspberry and spice character, this unique wine is both sumptuous and sophisticated.

Winemaker Notes
· The aromas are deep and sophisticated, with blue fruit and bramble elements supported by classic hints of leather and dried tobacco leaf
· On the palate, this wine offers a full entry, broad, textural tannins and lovely blueberry and dried sage notes
· The finish is long and satisfying, concluding with lingering wild berry flavors
Production
· 2009 presented certain challenges—from early shatter to late-season rain
· We responded with site-specific techniques that included aggressive leafing, an early thinning protocol and a heavy field sort to select only the most desirable grapes
· Attention to detail in the vineyards, and during harvest and sorting, yielded high quality fruit
