2010 Paraduxx C Blend Napa Valley Red Wine
Sold Out
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast! The C Blend was crafted from a core of Cabernet Sauvignon fused with the robust flavors of California's native Zinfandel. The depth and power of Cabernet pairs well with Zinfandel's bright fruit and spice, creating a balanced wine with mouth-filling tannins that will cellar well for years.

Production Notes
Composition: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Zinfandel
Aging & Oak: 16 months in oak, 78% French oak, 22% American oak, 40% new
Winemaker Notes
The nose offers classic Cabernet notes of vanilla and black tea with toasty hints of dark chocolate and tobacco leaf. Though firm on the entry, this wine is rich, ripe and weighty, with lingering flavors of raspberry jam, white pepper, caramel and black tea
Production
Due to a wet spring and long, mild growing season, the harvest began two weeks later than normal
A strong heat wave and late rains required us to be extra diligent during harvest, with a focus on fine-tuning and timely picking.As is often the case in milder years, our 2010 wines are marked by their elegance and balanced natural acidity—qualities we have worked to preserve in the winery
