Our winemaking "style" is solely determined by this place or terroir we call "Paradigm." Winemaking is agriculture when you own your vineyards and are able to farm them to promote the very best Earth will give you. All of our selections of wines are made from five varietals on the estate. Every wine is 100% farmed and grown by us.
We never set out to create our own style of wine. The experience of our winemaker, Heidi Peterson Barrett, exemplifies a “wine wisdom” which recognizes the inherent quality of the fruit. Non-invasive, allowing the grapes to express themselves as they do each vintage from the well tended vineyards. The flavors and aromas of our wines are due to the nurturing and the vintage specific guidance required each year to make the finest of Oakville wines both in the cellar and vineyard.
The five wines made at Paradigm are grown, produced, bottled, and aged at the winery in Oakville. All are aged in French Oak barrels for twenty months. The Cabernet Sauvignon is then bottle aged an additional twenty months prior to its release. The Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Zinfandel are given fourteen months of bottle age before their debut. For the first time in 2009, a Rosé in the Vin Gris style was made from our Merlot grapes.
