Gamble Family Vineyards Paramount Red 2016 Review
The definition of high end, well structured and impeccable California/Bordeaux style (only in grapes, not character) lies in this bottle. It’s powerful, yet elegant, showing off its awesome right now. It’s not done though, and wants to soften a bit around the edges. It has a beautiful concentrated fruit core, with great acidity teaching your palate lessons in balance. It’s crazy expensive, but if you're ballin this is a great bottle to ball out with, in a year or two that is.
