Fresh spring scents of berries and crisp acidity. Well done. — 7 years ago

A lovely Pinot from the Mornington showing a stewed fruit and a high quality ground coffee oak component - all in balance with no part dominating. Lingering finish and very enjoyable. Must seek out this producer in the future. — 7 years ago

Have to think of Mark Stull every time you pop a bottle of Chappellet! Unfortunately it didn't stand up to the Paradigm last night. Decent nose, plenty of fruit, but either needs some age or some more refining. I enjoyed it, but better cabs at this price point. — 8 years ago

Exceptional paradigm of a 2005 Bordeaux. Luscious with berries and tempered by anise. Tanins have nicely mellowed. — 8 years ago

Elegant and great balance. Seems like a paradigm for good simple burgundy. — 9 years ago

A paradigm shift for what you "think" Albarino is. — 9 years ago

9.1

odd tempranillo in a very good way... difficult vintage but still the quality shows. silky finishing, perhaps less powerful compared to other vintages but an elegance that is a paradigm for great wines. — 9 years ago

Tasted with Gianfranco Soldera @ Case Basse. A paradigm changing visit. I can say this with confidence, no other winemaker on the planet has their finger on the pulse like Gianfranco. A man who is 1000% invested in his land that produces profound sangiovese. — 8 years ago

Paradigm shift! Orange + oak! — 8 years ago

Paradigm of Beaujolais this old aging well. Concentrated, dark fruits, plenty of structure to carry longer and had a lot to say. — 8 years ago

Here is another paradigm in wine from Greece that over delivers on value. Don't be fooled though there is bright acidity that lifts any dish. — 9 years ago

9.3

Good wine in a great place right now! Great density. Tasted the 10, 11, and the 12 with Ms Cakebread in our recent trip. I think she was surprised we didn't like the 12. Parker gave this one a 93, which I shockingly agree with. I think this wine has incredible depth and density, but it was ready to go at pop and pour without any decanting needed. I don't think this is too age worthy, which is shocking given its AVA. FWIW, it seems Crocker&Starr and Paradigm Francs are just better "built." Still this is a indisputably good wine with great acidity, fruit core, tannin, and finish. More on Cellartracker. — 7 years ago

Raspberry, black cherry, dark chocolate and earthiness. A wine that proves just how much cool-climate Shiraz can offer. Echoes of St. Joseph. — 8 years ago

8.9

Dry and oaky! 33% new oak 67% old oak, fermented bone dry. Ok structure but needs more fruit for the amount of oak. — 8 years ago

9.7

Stunning, simply put. An exotic display of intense ripe fruit offset by earth and forest floor. Classic, yet delectable all the same. Is this the new paradigm for Brunello? Will it mature like other vintages? I can't say, but I will tell you that this is absolutely gorgeous tonight. — 9 years ago

Nicholas Livingston

9.6

Delightful Dry Creek Zinfandel for a chilled dreich day -poised beyond new world standards with length and complexity to beguiled even the claret obsessed. Never thought you would find a Zin outside the jammy paradigm? Here's a sophisticate that doesn't take life too seriously but beguiles with depth and breadth. A champion among Zinfandels at this age (2011) from a 375ml format. — 9 years ago

Austin Blackwell

8.9

Very fruit forward. Black cherry, boysenberry, blackberry, mocha, and spice. Good finish and lush mouthfeel but I will admit this followed up a 2009 Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon I drank. Ouch!! — 9 years ago
