Paradigm 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark ruby in color with aromas of deep
ripe fruit, black cherries, blackberry, currants, plums, savory spice, vanilla,
and toasty French Oak. Aromas and flavours show nice concentration in
2019. The wine has a dense texture and mouthcoating mouthfeel. Classic
Oakville Cabernet flavors similar to the aromas. Optimum ripeness leads to
a lush, rich, and well-balanced wine that bodes well for age ability. Layered
and interesting with a long persistent finish. A delicious offering from
Paradigm.
Grgich Hills 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep red in the glass, this sultry wine shows dark berry fruit on the nose followed by black current, plum, with an undertone of lavender and allspice. Rich and velvety on the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits full and smooth tannins, yet maintains a youthfulness. Plum and pluot re-emerge on the palate carried by undertones of rhubarb and hints of nutmeg. Great aging potential in the 2016 vintage.
