Description:
Paradisos Red Lot 2 is a culinary creation of two unique vineyards and two vintages. Lemberger (70%) vintage 2001 from the Crawford Vineyard for softness, raspberry, and spiciness. Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) vintage 2000 from Vineyard del Sol to give body, grip, blackberry, and plum.
Blended with pizza on my mind—real pizza, made with love and care at home, or from the best pizza joint around. One of my goals is to make what is acknowledged as the World’s Best Pizza Wine. But wait! Let’s not forget lasagna, pasta putanesca, spaghetti, tacos, enchiladas, hamburgers . . . all made with love. That’s why we make this wine!

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
