Paraduxx Atlas Peak Napa Valley Red Wine 2017

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese comes from the high slopes of Atlas Peak, where temperatures can be up to 10 degrees cooler than the valley floor. This ensures long, even ripening, yielding an elegantly textured wine with expressive layers with aromas of ripe red currant, cherry, sandalwood, sweet French oak and spice. On the palate it is rich and concentrated, with fleshy layers of juicy red fruit supported by plush tannins and an undercurrent of bright acid. The finish is long and distinctive, with lingering hints of red berries, red brick minerality and dried flowers.
