Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2016

Greatest EVER? One of our all-time fave Cabs from the legendary Heidi Barrett and from the astounding 2016 vintage! A FANTASTIC, no-brainer bargain relative to so many other Napa Cabs, and a Napa Valley classic since the late 80s!! 

Anyone who bought the ‘14 and ‘15 from us KNOWS. With fantastic vineyards in Oakville, surrounded by wineries selling at $200, $300, Ren Harris’ Paradigm hugely over delivers at $80!

Did you know this is Heidi Barrett's only continuous client since they began? From her Screaming Eagle days to her current mega-stardom, she has always made this wine in a much more "classic" style that I utterly love. In ‘16, there is tons of weight and power, ripe fruit, structure, medium-weight, terrific balance...and they age gorgeously (drink the 1994 now, it's killer). A huge must-have every year, in my book, and a wine to cellar for decades if you wish!!

$79.95!! Do you even know what a ridonkulously fair price this is? I urge, I insist, I PLEAD that if you love classically proportioned Napa Cabs --- this is a MUST-BUY.  A fantastic vintage and it shows in this wine with incredible purity and power. Trust your wizened old, grizzly-bearded, cantankerous wine merchant! This wine is KILLING it!
