Duckhorn Paraduxx Napa Valley Red Wine 2005
Rated 90CG


Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine Review
Rated 90
60% Zinfandel; 32% Cabernet Sauvignon; 6% Merlot; 2% Cabernet Franc. Other varietals may add their voices to this very rich wine, and Cabernet Sauvignon, in particular, brings a firm streak of tannin, but the wine is very much Zinfandel at its heart and is rife with very deep blackberry fruit and vanilla. Full and fleshy in feel, if still a bit astringent on the back end, it is beginning to hint at complexity to come and deserves to be left alone for some three or four more years.

Wine Tasting Notes
The aroma explodes with ripe fruit - strawberry, boysenberry, and plum, complemented by hints of violets, spice, and orange peel. This wine is medium-bodied with a chewy texture, robust yet approachable tannins, and a firm, lengthy finish. Ripe flavors of raspberry, red cherry, and boysenberry are balanced by complex notes of dark chocolate, espresso bean, and black licorice.
