Our premier Red Wine is a bold blend of fruit from several distinguished Napa Valley vineyards. These sites have been chosen as they have historically produced exceptional grapes, all unique and expressive of their particular place within the valley. At the core of the blend is Veeder Rock Cabernet Sauvignon from the volcanic soils of Mt. Veeder; Retreat House Merlot comes from the Mayacamas foothills behind St. Helena; Pepper Hill Cabernet Franc is from a cooler, hillside Carneros site; and Petit Verdot from the slopes of Mount St Helena. Outstanding as these wines are alone, judiciously blended they come together to create a wine much greater than the sum of its parts. A great wine provides an intensity of experience and is something truly memorable. Even years later, one can visualize, sense and remember the event and experience of meeting with a great wine. Great wine is balanced, whole, one-of-a-kind. Paramount is this kind of wine and is exemplary of Napa at its finest.
