About Paradise Ridge Winery
“Walter Byck & Marijke Byck-Hoenselaars discovered the magical Paradise Ridge property in 1977 in the heart of Wine Country. Walter and Marijke are wine lovers and art appreciators and saw their future in 155 acres overlooking the Russian River Valley. Their vision manifested into a beautiful estate winery which they built in 1991 and where they continue to produce elegant wines to this day.”

The Confessor

TASTING NOTES:
2018 - “This wine introduces itself with the Grenache, offering a fruity mouthful of blackberry. The powerhouses of Syrah and Mourvedre give this wine its backbone and structure leading to an herbaceous and peppery finish.” (AbV 13.7%, TA 5.7 g/L, pH 3.64)

2019 - “This blend is what you would see being produced more notably from Cote du Rhone. Like the 2018 vintage, this wine has a complexity that is attributed to the 3 varietals as well as the moderately warm summer.” (AbV 13.7%, TA 5.7 g/L, pH 3.64)

BARRELS:
20% new French.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED MUSIC to listen to in anticipation of this wine:

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Grilled ribeye with herbed garlic butter.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
All the flangers, phasers, and chorus effects you could hope for.
