Paraduxx 2012 Howell Mountain Red (Napa Valley)

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

Allowing Zinfandel to take the 60% lead in this marriage with Cabernet Sauvignon, this is an impressive mingling of the two. Black pepper, clove and leathery cigar fuel a high-powered succulence of black and red fruit accented by a smoky drawl.
