Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, United StatesAs rich and as round as this wine is in the mouth don't let its graceful elegant styling fool you. This is the full meal deal and it will likely be even better in a decade. The fruit is pure cabernet with intense black cherries, the perfect acidity and a wealth of firm, fine grained, polished tannins that linger until they are subdued by the fruit in the finish. Very impressive bottle of Oakville cabernet that definitely puts a shine back on Napa Valley cabernet. The winery suggest you pair this with renowned Napa chef Cindy Pawlcyn's double lamb chops with tapenade.
