Parador Napa Valley is dedicated to producing Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon at the highest level of quality, in hopes of gracing the same tables as other inspired wines from around the world.

This 2003 Parador Napa Valley Red Blend is deep ruby with a smoky, complex bouquet of dried cherry, cassis, vanilla and mocha, along with a touch of camphor.  Smooth, open-knit and sweet, offering supple red and dark berry flavors and suggestions of bitter chocolate and herbs.  This blend of tempranillo and cabernet sauvignon leads with its cab component.  The dry finish features good cut and lingering spiciness.  Mature but in no danger of going over the hill; this actually improved with air.
