2011 Paraduxx C Blend Napa Valley Red Wine
Sold Out
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.

Winemaker Notes
The nose is deep and rich, offering layers of dark cherry, tobacco leaf, earth and sage, as well as oak-inspired notes of caramel and vanilla.
On the entry, this wine is smooth and structured, with a broad texture that fills the mouth and underscores flavors of raspberry, blackberry, Bing cherry, cigar box and dried herbs.
Production
In one of the coolest growing seasons in memory. To counteract uneven vine growth, we did meticulous green thinning, gently opened up the canopy to expose the fruit, were judicious in our picking schedule and sorted meticulously both in the vineyards and winery. Due to our quality adjustments the remainder of our fruit fared well despite the October rains. Warm up-valley locations like Oakville, Rutherford, St, Helena and Calistoga were particularly successful, and overall the resulting wines are pure and elegant.
