Pat Paulsen

Napa Valley reds and whites balancing structure with fruit expression.

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.
