The 2021 Paraduxx Proprietary Red is powerful yet restrained. Enjoy its aromas and flavors of blackberries and oak with Thai Basil Pork.

90pts James Suckling

Aromas of blackberries, dark plums and sweet spices. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy tannins and texture. Dense and generous, with chocolate and berries toward the finish.

Winemaker Notes

The 2021 vintage produced a beautifully polished and potent expression of Paraduxx’s flagship red blend, with aromas of spiced blueberry, blackberry, licorice and lavender, as well as hints of flint and sandalwood. The luxurious dark berry layers are echoed on the palate, where they are framed by robust tannins, with notions of black cherry, cocoa, lilac and anise emerging throughout a long, mouth-filling finish.

Blend: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Zinfandel, 13% Malbec, 10% Merlot, 6% Syrah, 5% Petite Sirah
