Paradigm Merlot Estate Oakville 2021 is a refined Napa Valley red wine from Paradigm Winery’s estate vineyard in Oakville. Made mostly from Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine shows a smooth, elegant, and balanced style. It opens with aromas of ripe plum, cherry, dark red fruit, subtle spice, and soft oak. The palate is lively and polished, offering appealing texture, smooth tannins, and impressive length. This Merlot is suitable for early drinking but also has the balance to age well in the cellar.
