There’s something quietly captivating about a wine that doesn’t need to shout to prove its worth. The 2021 Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon is just that—an Oakville classic made by none other than Heidi Barrett, the legendary force behind Screaming Eagle. It carries all the pedigree of its iconic neighborhood, with none of the pretense. Estate-grown and under $100, it’s one of the most compelling cellar picks we’ve seen this year.

Deep, elegant, and precise, the wine opens with notes of blackberry compote, cassis, and lilac, lifted by wild sage and framed in finely textured French oak. The tannins are refined and sculpted, the finish long and effortlessly graceful. A true reflection of Oakville’s refined power—crafted with Barrett’s unmistakable touch and ready to impress now or evolve for years.  The 2021 is comprised of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. 

While Paradigm offers an accessible window into Oakville’s greatness, we’ve also secured a small selection of top-tier icons from the neighborhood, including Screaming Eagle and other collector benchmarks. These bottles represent the pinnacle of Napa Valley Cabernet and rarely appear together, let alone in this condition.

All in stock and ready to ship—whether you’re adding to a deep cellar or starting fresh, this is your chance to own a piece of Oakville’s finest.
