The 2009 PARATUS shows a sultry elegance with notes of dark leather, rich, deep blackberry, and ripe orchard fruits. The youth of this wine belies its structure and balance. The wine will age well for ten years plus.

“With our focus on small, artisanal producers, Paratus was a great addition to our portfolio. It is 100% Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2009 delivers a firm, deeply flavored wine with considerable length and complexity. While quite approachable in its youth, we have been tempted to tuck a case or two away in our own cellars with complete faith that 10-15 years aging will be worth the wait.” - Peter Granoff, Master Sommelier; Proprietor, Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant
