Cabernet Saugvignon, Paradigm, Napa Valley, CA, 2018

Owned and managed by Red and Marilyn Harris, two winegrowers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley.  Marilyn's grandparents immigrated from Italy to Napa in 1890, while Ren's family came to California in 1769.  Marilyn and Ren moved to Napa Valley in the 1960's and settled into their home just east of where Paradigm sits today. 

Paradigm consists of four contiguous parcels totaling fifty acres.  Paradigm is a self-contained winery estate; including fifty acres of vineyard, the winery, two homes, a warehouse, a barn, and an acre of olive trees.

The land destined to become Paradigm was planted to Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, and White Riesling when Ren and Marilyn first purchased the property.  In short order, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel replaced the original vines.
