Paradigm Cabernet Franc 2009

Oakville, Napa Valley, California, United StatesHeidi Peterson Barrett makes Paradigm and in the case of the cab franc blends about 18 per cent cabernet sauvignon into the mix. A rare site in Canada this ripe cabernet franc has both structure and quietly but forcefully pulls itself across your palate. Blueberries spice and chocolate mark the mid-palate along with some impressive 'dusty' fine grained tannins and a pure fruit finish. Nowhere near ready to drink it does tempt you to throw a leg of lamb on the grill and finish the bottle. The finish goes on forever.Tasted: 31 December 2012Tasted by: Prices:
