My daughter somehow got on Duckhorn's mailing list and just got a mailing offering 6 bottles of 1999 Paraduxx. She wanted to know if I wanted any at $40 per. Though I've heard of Paraduxx, I've never tried it and wondered if anyone out there has any TN's or thoughts on it. I checked the Duckhorn website and got their slant on it but they don't offer any production figures or national availability. Since I work in a wine shop, I can get a hefty discount if it's available, which guess I can check on tomorrow when I go into work. I just wondered if it was even worth the effort.

I've had the 96 and 97 Paraduxx. Mostly Zinfandel, this blend is delicious! I don't know if I would be a buyer of many bottles at retail, but if you can get these at a "hefty" discount, I would surely recommend giving it a go...
Just to compare palates, I tend to like dark, rich, spicey zins with good acidity and some tannin support with lasting finishes (Hmmm, pretty generic description)

This is one big hummer.The 94 is resting quietly in the cellar. Onr the mailing list it was 32 a clatter. WW
