From the first smell, this wine is open and enticing. Beautiful aromas of ripe berries and toasty spicy oak. Soft and silky across the palate with classic Paradigm finesse. Flavors are of ripe black cherry, blackberry, cedar and sweet vanilla. Rich and lush in the mouth with lots of flavor and elegance. The wine is very enjoyable right now and will last 10 years or more.

Our ’06 Cabernet Franc is ruby red in color with a ripe fruit nose of blueberries and black plums. Accent notes are spice, slight vanilla, and cedar. This is a medium bodied wine that shows nicely balanced flavors, a soft mouthfeel, and good length. Fruit flavors match the aromas – plum and blueberry with texture coming from the light dusty tannins and moderate alcohol. One of the best Cabernet Francs we have made.

Very clean and fresh aromas lead to flavors that match. Crisp and refreshing in the mouth, very fruity with some cranberry-like flavors. An easy going Rosé that is ready to enjoy right away!
