1994 Duckhorn Paraduxx

[winoweenie]

Found 2 of these lil orphans in the cellar yesterday and decided to open one with a grilled NY Strip SDiloin for lunch. Lovely nose of red and black fruits. Spicy , white pepper, cocoa, leather, and berries come over. This blend of Zin, Merlot, Cabernet, and Cabernet Franc goes against the usual Napa blends. This vintage marked the 1st for an Artist Label and the wine sets the standard for future vintages. Solid entry, weighty center and a long 4&1/2 lapper finish. As good as it's going to get. Killer juice that got me hooked early on this offering from Dan. 92/92. 26 by the box. 13.5% alc. WW
