Paraduxx 2005 Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Paraduxx / Napa Valley

From Duckhorn, a very serious producer, but this is their fun wine. Not to say this blend of Zin, Cab, Merlot and Cab Franc isn’t a heavyweight red. It is, with massive berry, cherry, chocolate and peppery spice flavors. But it seems designed for easier fare, such as barbecue. At its best over the next 5 years.
