Fusing the robust flavors of California’s native Zinfandel with the grandeur of Cabernet Sauvignon, Paraduxx has embraced the best of both core varietals to produce a world-class blend with a decidedly Californian personality.

Winemakers Notes
· The aromas are complex and inviting, with lifted red fruit elements of raspberry and plum, as well as deeper bramble fruit notes and layers of vanilla, cream, nutmeg and cinnamon

· A smooth, rich entry leads to sweet plum and lingering spice notes, with hints of cedar and clove

· The wine’s lush texture is supported by resolved tannins that lead to a full, ripe finish
