Wine Enthusiast
Extravagantly ripe in flavor and generously spiced from oak aging, this full-bodied wine is a well-behaved monster. Full tannins wrap around the blackberries, blueberries, cedar and cinnamon and are deep enough to keep echoing on the finish. Best from 2026.

COMMENTARY: The 2020 Paraduxx Proprietary Red Wine is an excellent blend primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of bold blackberries, savory spices, and dried earthy notes. Enjoy it with a well-spiced lamb stew. (Tasted: July 7, 2023, San Francisco, CA)

James Suckling
A firm and leaner red here with blackberries, pine cone, bark, and rust. Medium-bodied with linear tannins and a crisp finish.

Since being founded in 1994, Paraduxx has earned acclaim as the only California winery solely devoted to Napa Valley blends. Our Winemaker creates visionary blends that capture the essence of their Napa Valley terroir—wines that are ripe, robust and compelling, but that are also impeccably balanced. To achieve this, Paraduxx combines consummate Napa Valley viticulture with a creative approach to winemaking and blending. The wines in the Paraduxx portfolio are made in a state-of-the art winery that was unveiled in 2005, and have established a reputation for stylishly bold, expressive wines with food-friendly sophistication.
Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.
Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
