So clean and balanced. Not a complex wine, but just a perfect balance of only a mild sweetness followed by minerality and mild acidity. A Golden Mean in all its flavors. White fruit flavors. A paradigm of Mosel Riesling. Extraordinary QPR. — 2 years ago

Juicy, jammy American-style Syrah for those who like this style. I am not a fan of this style but this wine is a paradigm of the jammy style. Very fruit-forward so good with wings or taco night. A good value at $31. — 3 months ago
Beautiful California-style Cabernet Sauvignon. Slightly sweet and intense flavors. No flaws in this Cabernet Sauvignon. A paradigm of this style. — 10 months ago

High expectations for this given the Paradigm winemaker legacy and the name!
Not quite at the Paradigm level but still very enjoyable.
The red fruits dominants with cherry and almost had a Sangiovese like flavor profile. Definitely not that much acidity but good tannins. — 10 months ago
Well, the 2016 has turned the page / it seems to be paradigm shift from the previous vintages (tighter, restrained, minimal oak). The ‘16 is quite voluminous with warm caramel brioche and baked lemon liquor. While golden and opulent, this is not a gentle and elegant food wine. Thus I am on the fence whether I want another bottle… I probably will get one because it’s still available and look for a better food pair. Day two, allowed for some beautiful sipping, though ;) edit: I will get another bottle…very nice sipper on day 2…mouthfeel is glorious! — 3 years ago

Intense, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon that needs steak. Extraordinary flavor and great elegance and smoothness in the finish. An excellent Napa Cabernet, and a paradigm of this big style of wine. — 2 months ago
