Nestled right by Harlan and Bond, Paradigm is one of my favorite, reasonably priced Napa Cabs ever since the amazing 02 vintage. Ren Harris was nice enough to take me out for a quick vineyard walk where we discussed his interesting trellacing style and canopy management as well as his soil program. Soft spoken, and a real love for the land and the vines he reminded me of the Guru. Next a shot of their packed to the rafters barrel room, and the road to their tasting room. I personally love the no wineries this road sign. Ren told me in advance when giving me directions, when you pass the No wineries this road sign, you're getting close.
Oh yeah, did I mention Heidi Barrett is their winemaker?
