Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, USA 2021

Paradigm Winery is founded and owned by Ren and Marilyn Harris, two winegrowers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley. Their story began in 1958 when they met in high school in San Francisco. They married on February 6, 1965, at St. Joan of Arc Church in Yountville, with Ren working as a general contractor and Marilyn teaching the 4th-grade. In the fall of 1967, the annual trip to Yountville to help Marilyns father with the grape harvest became their last when they decided to stay.

A modest profit from a home they remodeled while living in San Francisco enabled them to put a downpayment on a prune orchard. Eventually they planted grapes in that former orchard. In 1975 they sold it to purchase the property that would become Paradigm. After years of selling their grapes, Ren and Marilyn founded Paradigm Winery and began producing wine with the 1991 vintage.

Deep and dark in color, this wine showcases the rich aromas of Oakville Cabernet—blackberries, black cherries, cassis, and berry jam. We age in 40% new French oak, perfectly complementing the fruit from our distinctive vineyards. The flavors seamlessly reflect the aromas, creating a classic Oakville Cabernet experience. With a silky mouthfeel and a beautifully balanced structure, it’s a testament to the consistency and delicious style long appreciated by fans of Paradigm.
