Occasional wine note

We discovered Paradigm at our local wine shop here in Half Moon Bay, and have been enjoying this for several years. It's a stout Napa Cabernet that delivers well-orchestrated layers of ripe dark fruits, spice, and tannin in a powerful package representative of the Oakville sub-region from which is was produced. There is not much to be found in pro critic ratings, but it's 4.4 Vivino score and history of 90+ point ratings in previous vintages are indicative of what you should expect with the 2019.

What experts say about this wine

Decanter

The 2019 Paradigm is a lovely wine showcasing dark-berried fruit layered with a host of elegant spices. Its medium- to full-bodied palate is profoundly flavourful and complex. The perfumed elegance of violets and rose petals is perfectly balanced by the wine's inky dark fruit character, all supported by intricate, fine-grained, and super firm tannins. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and defined by freshness, balance, and energy. I find myself shaking my head over the lack of critical praise for these wines over the years and applaud the consumers who have locked into a spot on the mailing list at Paradigm because they are world-class wines from pedigreed vines, ageworthy, and offer just about the best QPR (quality-to-price ratio) in Napa these days.
