Sight
The Red wine had a medium color depth. The hue was garnet and my glass was clear.
Smell
The Red wine was slightly aromatic and young. I could smell spice, sweet dark fruit. Slight cinnamon.
Taste
The Red wine was dry and full-bodied. The acidity was lively. The tannins were medium with an astringent (dry) mouth feel. The red wine was flavorful. As I taste the red wine my mid palate had many layered flavors. As I exhaled I could smell cherry. The wines finish was medium in length
abv: 14.5$
How much: $50.00
The Paraduxx red wine is a blend of 64% Zinfandel, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. I have to say it is an interesting red blend.
I rated the 2006 Paraduxx Napa Valley Red wine three glasses.
In Vino Veritas!
