Paraduxx 2012 Rector Creek Vineyard Red (Napa Valley)

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

From a valley-floor site, this blend of 70% Zinfandel and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon delights in a depth of blackberry and cedar, reflecting well on both varieties. Firm tannin and restrained oak provide room for a touch of gun smoke and pencil lead, with a lengthy finish.
