Pat Paulsen
Pat Paulsen produces wines from Napa Valley, drawing on the North Coast's warm, structured terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on two distinct expressions: red blends that marry Bordeaux and Rhône varieties, and crisp white wines. The Parthen Ogenesis Reserve Red Blend combines Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc into a layered structure typical of the valley's finest Cabernet-based wines. The Odyssey Reserve Red takes a different path, blending Zinfandel, Shiraz, and Grenache for a more fruit-forward profile. Alongside these reds sits the Mio Vigneto Sauvignon Blanc, a varietal that thrives in Napa's cooler microclimates, delivering the aromatic intensity and crisp acidity the grape is known for.
