1994 Duckhorn Paraduxx

[winoweenie]

Had a bowl of chili last nite and opened this big bruiser. Called a " Super Napa " wine by Dan (don't know what the blazes a super napa be) this is a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet, and Cabernet Franc. This puppy has come together quite a bit since my first bottle 4 years ago. Had to find much Merlot in this or for that matter the Cab Franc, but an interesting blend. His first bottling so I'm not sure this was on purpose or throwing a few random barrlels together rather than throwing them out. Probably the first as they commissioned David Huddleston to do the art on the label. A very enjoyable red wine,(but which'n aint?) that stood up to the onions, balsamic vinegar, and tobasco that are rudimentary to my bowls of chilli.
No rating as I washed this down whilst watching the Ducks get de-boned by Wake Forest. WW
