Ren Harris
Paradigm
Winery, located in the Oakville appellation of Napa Valley, hand-crafts small
quantities of estate-bottled red wine. We're known for our Merlot and our
Cabernet Sauvignon, though we also produce a tiny amount of Zinfandel, Cabernet
Franc and Rosé. Regardless of the varietal, our wines are a rich expression of
the vineyard we've been farming now for twenty-nine years.
Paradigm Winery is owned and managed by Ren and Marilyn Harris, two winegrowers with extraordinarily deep roots in Napa Valley. Marilyn's grandparents immigrated from Italy to Napa Valley in 1890, while Ren's family came to California in 1769. Marilyn and Ren purchased Paradigm Vineyards in 1976, and began producing wine with the 1991 vintage. Since that first vintage, the wines have been made by renowned winemaker, Heidi Peterson Barrett. Heidi's father, Dick Peterson, was instrumental in laying out and designing the winery.

Marilyn and Ren Harris founded Paradigm Vineyards in
1976. Since that time they have grown fruit for many of Napa Valley's most
outstanding wineries. They began bottling small quantities of estate wine in
1991. Throughout their ownership of Paradigm, Ren and Marilyn have been
tireless advocates for the Oakville appellation, eco-friendly farming, and
environmental stewardship.
