Heiner Lobenberg om:
Au Paradis Single Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

98
/100

Au Paradis ligger midt i Napa Valley, i den østlige del af Oakville, i en højde af ca. 150 meter med sydvestlig eksponering og udsigt til Mayacamas-bjergene. Vinmarken blev købt af Sir Peter Michael i 2009, og 2011 var den første årgang. Jordbunden består hovedsageligt af stenet rød lerjord, forvitret vulkansk sten, ler og sand, kendt i Oakville som "red dirt". Blandingen indeholder altid hovedsageligt Cabernet Sauvignon og Cabernet Franc, lagret i 18 måneder på fransk eg. Dybt lilla i glasset. I næsen er dette en Cabernet-blanding som taget ud af en billedbog! Så elegant og så fin. Sikke en forførende aroma! Moden cassis, brombær, syltede hindbær med violer og tørrede blomster. Den popper virkelig i munden. De fint strukturerede, modne tanniner giver Au Paradis ægte bid. Cigarkasse, sort peber, krydret, frisk kød og grafitmineralitet. Betagende elegant! 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Au Paradis Single Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Pouring an opaque red, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Paradis is lush and refined with aromas of cassis, espresso, violets, and sweet tobacco. Full-bodied, this refined profile continues on the palate, with a ripe, velvety texture, fine tannins, and notes of black cherry liqueur and mocha, as well as floral oils that last long on the palate without feeling heavy. Drink 2025-2045. 97/100

Parker om: Au Paradis Single Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Blended with 3% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Paradis comes from a vineyard in Oakville near Dalla Valle, around 500-600 feet in elevation. It has a deep ruby-purple color and opens slowly to warm black plums, graphite and grilled peppers with wafts of cedar, chocolate and soy. The full-bodied palate offers plenty of freshness to support its concentrated, ripe fruit. It boasts generous, powdery tannins, alluring floral tones and a long, layered finish. Ripe yet balanced, it's approachable right now. 1,401 cases were made, and it will be released in July of 2023. 96/100

The Wine Independent om: Au Paradis Single Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2020 Au Paradis is a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, harvested in the second week of September and finishing September 25. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes bounding out with exuberant notes of creme de cassis, redcurrant jelly, and juicy blackberries with hints of camphor, dark chocolate, and tar plus a waft of bay leaves. The full-bodied palate is concentrated yet bright and expressive, with bags of black and red berry flavors and bright mineral accents, supported by fine-grained tannins, finishing long and lifted. 95/100

Suckling om: Au Paradis Single Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a very refined and polished red, with redcurrant and spice, as well as black-pepper and flint undertones. It’s medium-bodied with refined tannins and a fresh, silky finish. All about finesse and polish. Drinkable now, but better after 2024. 95/100
