Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2016

Cabernet Blends  |  US

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

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!

About the Producer

Owned and managed by Ren and Marilyn Harris, two winegrowers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley. Marilyn's grandparents immigrated from Italy to Napa Valley in 1890, while Ren's family came to California in 1769. Marilyn and Ren moved to Napa Valley in the 1960's and settled into their home just east of where Paradigm sits today. Paradigm consists of four contiguous parcels totalling fifty acres in the heart of Oakville. Heidi Barrett is the consulting winemaker and in today's Napa Cab marketplace, this remains one of the finest values that we know of.
