2020 Duckhorn Paraduxx Proprietary Red Wine Napa Valley
Winemaker Notes: Deep, dark and luxurious, this wine offers alluring aromas of blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, currant and cocoa powder, with underlying hints of saddle leather, cinnamon and clove. The voluptuous dark berry notes are echoed on the palate where they are framed by supple tannins and sophisticated layers of anise, vanilla, sweet tobacco leaf and fresh-cracked black pepper, all of which carry the wine to a juicy dark berry finish.
Blend Composition: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 10% Zinfandel, 8% Petit Verdot, 8% Syrah, 2% Grenache, 2% Malbec
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "Extravagantly ripe in flavor and generously spiced from oak aging, this full-bodied wine is a well-behaved monster. Full tannins wrap around the blackberries, blueberries, cedar and cinnamon and are deep enough to keep echoing on the finish. Best from 2026."
Wilfred Wong - "The 2020 Paraduxx Proprietary Red Wine is an excellent blend primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of bold blackberries, savory spices, and dried earthy notes. Enjoy it with a well-spiced lamb stew. "
James Suckling - "A firm and leaner red here with blackberries, pine cone, bark, and rust. Medium-bodied with linear tannins and a crisp finish."
