Simply stated, this is a VERY satisfying new wine! Pinot lovers familiar with Keefer Ranch fruit will recognize a concentrated, full throttle, opulent fruit vintage in the 2007 Pali Keefer Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir. Complex flavors feature gobs of dark blackberry, raspberry puree and cola all melded together across a big and rich texture. Bold and ripe, this luxurious tasting finishes with a hint of toasty oak that bodes well for pairing with a wide range of food over the next 3 – 5 years, peaking around 2014.

Quite dark in color with deep ripe aromas of chocolate covered black cherries. Enticing fruit nose and layers of spice and toasty oak add up to sa wonderful rich complex aroma profile. Flavors match the aromas in a mouth coating, textural, silky and tasty wine. This wine is loaded with aging potential. It has everything it needs to last a good 15 years or more. We love the balance and finesse here with flavors that persist minutes after drinking. It all adds up to one of the best Cabernet vintages they have produced at Paradigm. 94+ Points.

This deliciously dense and weighty new release is so smooth it glides lightly across your palate and features soft layers of dark cherry, ripe figs, toffee, cocoa, rich smoky oak and a hint of sweet tobacco on the luscious finish. Rich and savory, this wine will delight for the next 5 years. Decant one hour if sampling prior to 2012.

Decadent layers of espresso beans, mocha, bold tannins and a savory hint of black olive tapenade on the sultry finish. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Decant one hour if popping the cork pre-2012 because this BIG boy will easily last until 2019, peaking around 2017 in our estimate. Enjoy this rare opportunity to a own few of these precious hand crafted bottles because less than 300 cases produced.
