Item Description

This incredible lot includes 1 etched double magnum of Paradigm Winery’s 2008 Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon handcrafted by winemaker, Heidi Peterson Barrett AND a private tour and tasting for six people at Paradigm Winery’s family owned and operated agriculture and wine production facilities.

Paradigm Winery, located in the Oakville appellation of Napa Valley, hand-crafts small quantities of estate-bottled red wine. They are known for their Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, though they also produce a tiny amount of Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc. Regardless of the varietal, Paradigm's wines are a rich expression of the vineyard they have been farming for twenty-nine years.

Paradigm Winery is owned and managed by Ren and Marilyn Harris, two winegrowers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley. Marilyn's grandparents immigrated from Italy to Napa Valley in 1890, while Ren's family came to California in 1769. Marilyn and Ren purchased Paradigm Vineyards in 1976, and began producing wine with the 1991 vintage. Since that first vintage, the wines have been made by renowned winemaker, Heidi Peterson Barrett. Heidi's father, Dick Peterson, was instrumental in laying out and designing the winery.
