Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
One of our all-time fave Cabs from the legendary Heidi Barrett!! A FANTASTIC, no-brainer bargain relative to so many other Napa Cabs and arguably the finest in a decade or more! A Napa Valley classic since the late 80s!!

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. Less super-oak, some 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.

$79.95. Do you even know what a ridonkulously fair price this is? I urge, I insist, I PLEAD that if you love classically structured Napa Cabs (I want you to evoke things like Dunn, Heitz, Mayacamas, old Phelps wines and so on) --- this is a MUST-BUY. 2015 to boot, which has an amazing ripe fruit profile that will drink well early but will also cellar like a champ! A fantastic vintage! 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 totaling 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.
