2001 Paraduxx, Duckhorn, Napa
70% zinfandel, 30% cabernet sauvignon. Full-bodied wine with generous, soft tannins that should allow it to age well for the next decade. The aroma reveals a profusion of fruits including blackberries, blueberries, plums and black cherries which are complemented by notes of vanilla, toasted coconut and cedar. The finish lingers with elements of toasty oak and black pepper.
