With wonderful ripeness we were able to make one of our best Cabernet Francs. The wine is very lush across the palate with a silky softness and sweet impression of ripe blueberry fruit. Tannins are very moderate with a nice light texture in the mid palate. This is an easy drinking Cabernet Franc, rich and complete and very enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParadigm Cabernet Franc is made from 85% Cabernet Franc \u0026amp; 15% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinery: Paradigm Winery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paradigm Winery Estate\u003cbr\u003eParadigm Winery is located in the Oakville District of Napa Valley just west of Highway 29 and south of the Oakville Grade. The winery is owned and managed by Ren and Marilyn Harris, winegrowers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley. Marilyn is a third generation grower in Napa Valley and Ren has been farming here since the 1960’s.\u003cbr\u003eThey purchased Paradigm in 1976 and began producing wine with the 1991 vintage.\u003cbr\u003eThey farm sustainably.\u003cbr\u003eImmediate neighbors of Paradigm Winery are Harlan, Martha’s Vineyard, Dominus, an Opus Vineyard, and a Quintessa Vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey take 1\/3 of their grapes and the rest are sold to Nickel \u0026amp; Nickel, Duckhorn, and Groth.\u003cbr\u003eThe annual production is limited to 5,000 cases. \u003cbr\u003eHeidi Peterson Barrett has been making our wine since the first vintage in 1991. Heidi's philosophy in making wines for Paradigm is simple: she feels that she is working with an extraordinary vineyard site that has been farmed impeccably for years. She lets the fruit from this vineyard express its quality and unique terroir with minimal intervention.\u003cbr\u003eThe wines are made in a classic style to go with food. The Cabernet Sauvignon barrel aged for 20 months in French oak (only about a third of that is new oak) and for 20 more months in bottle before release. The Merlot ages for 20 months in French Oak (third new) and 14 more months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRespectable Cab, but lately the Merlot, Zin and Cab Fran have been shining even brighter – they all get the same 20-month French oak treatment; excellent values all around.”\u003cbr\u003e- Anthony Dias' blue pocket guide to wine 2006\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paradigm Winery Vineyard\u003cbr\u003eIn 1976, it was planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Chenin Blanc and White Reisling, all commonly grown in Napa Valley. But the Harrises quickly confirmed that the vineyard's soil and microclimate were perfectly tuned for growing the red Bordeaux varietals that inspired their passion for wine. The vineyard is now planted to four blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon totaling 32 acres, three blocks of Merlot totaling 18 acres, 2 acres of Cabernet Franc and one acre of Zinfandel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradigm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44295048659168,"sku":"119785","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/paradigm-cabernet-franc_1.jpg?v=1698348874","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/paradigm-cabernet-franc-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
