Not Quite Our Paradigmatic Napa Cab

Paradigm, 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon
$54.00
Shane’s Notes

The Paradigm is dark red with spicy, cherry aromas. The palate is fairly sweet up front followed by a slightly graphitic, tart cherry flavor. There is just a hint of dark chocolate on the backside. The tannins are smooth and firm and well integrated into the wine. The finish is medium length. We both enjoyed it but for the price, we also both thought it should be more complex. It is definitely drinkable now and probably would not benefit much from aging. Unfortunately, it is another example of an overpriced Napa Cab.
