Paramour possesses both sensuality and commanding structure. Merlot and Cabernet Franc have a fragile but irresistible chemistry that flourishes when climate, soils and seasons align. The grapes allotted for this graceful red wine are grown in only the most auspicious conditions. Paramour reveals the passionate relationship between these two varietals and between winegrower and land.
“The 2008 Paramour unfolds with seductive notes of black cherry, nutmeg, clove, and subtle earthy aromas. On the expansive palate, bold flavors of cherry, chocolate, blueberry, and black currant combine with a creamy black fruit and cedar overlay. The plush finish is framed by velvety tannins and a luxurious mouth feel. Paramour is ideal for drinking beyond the next decade."
– Winemaker, Aaron Pott
“This wine made me cry - in a good way! I've never had an emotional response to a wine before, but I teared up after the very first sip. This is a wine I wish I could freeze in time to always have just as it is now. To be honest though, it makes me feel a little ridiculous that the wine I'm in love with is named Paramour."
