Reviews and Ratings

Produced by the Duckhorn Wine Company, from the Napa Valley, California, Paraduxx 2016 is a full-bodied and rich 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Zinfandel, 19% Petit Verdot and 7% Merlot red wine blend. Love the black currant, blueberry and mocha aromas on the nose. Vibrant, balanced with layers of blackberry jam, leather, anise and toasted coconut flavours long and silky smooth on the palate. Pair with a prime rib roast done rare. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
