New release of Heid Barrett's Oakville Cabernet!
Heidi Barrett is well-known as the original winemaker for
Screaming Eagle, but Paradigm is her secret sleeper from Oakville in Napa Valley. The brilliant new Paradigm 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is gorgeous now, but the patient may see it rival the wonderful 1999 Paradigm as this winery's best Cab ever.
94 Points Brix26: ""Quite dark in color with deep ripe aromas of chocolate covered black cherries. Enticing fruit nose and layers of spice and toasty oak add up to a wonderful rich complex aroma profile. Flavors match the aromas in a mouth coating, textural, silky and tasty wine. This wine is loaded with aging potential. It has everything it needs to last a good 15 years or more. I love the balance and finesse here with flavors that persist minutes after drinking. It all adds up to one of the best Cabernet vintages produced at Paradigm."
