2014 Paradigm Merlot

The nose is amazing. Nice dark garnet color, aromas are very plummy and ripe with perfect French Oak layering. Soft across the palate yet flavors are explosive and exciting. Ripe jammy fruit with a very silky texture and mouthfeel. The tannins are quite moderate in this beautiful Oakville Merlot. I love the balance here between the acidity, fruit, and oak. Nice length too. Flavors persist for several minutes. 94% Merlot 6% Cabernet Sauvignon
