2003 Artist - Manfred Schatz
For this release, German artist Manfred Schatz (1925-2004) created an oil painting of a pair of Mallards, capturing their graceful movement.

Manfred Schatz was born in 1925 in Stettin, Germany. He attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Stettin and the Academy of Pictoral Arts, Berlin-Charlottenburg. Over a dozen cities of the world have exhibited his works, including Hamburg, Munich, London, Dallas, New York, and Las Vegas. He has received every award that can be bestowed by the Republic of Germany on any artist – living or deceased.

The magic of Schatz's paintings lies in his uncanny ability to capture movement. His brush strokes are bold and are set to canvas with a certainty that many artists never acquire. He did not lose himself in the details of the marginal things, but forced the viewer's attention on the main motif as he proposed to express it. He portrayed wildlife as most of us see it – in quick, often shadowy glimpses rather than sharp, bright portraits. He used the viewer’s mind as an extension of his brush to supply needed details and avoided them where they're not needed and never seen. His work is inevitably real and alive and the viewer cannot help but react.

Manfred Schatz’s work is in the collections of several museums throughout the United States, including the Genesee Country Museum in Mumford, New York; the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin; and the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming.

Paraduxx—A Napa Valley Red Wine
Paraduxx is a unique Napa Valley red wine in the tradition of the world’s great blends. From the Super Tuscan wines of Italy to the Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon blends of Australia, many great winegrowing regions have created their own authentic varietal pairings. Paraduxx was created in 1994 to provide our winemaking team with the opportunity to explore other varietals. We quickly recognized Paraduxx as having its own character and style. Created from Zinfandel—a grape synonymous with California—Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Paraduxx’s goal is to craft a world-class wine with a distinctly Californian personality. With a blend that includes Napa Valley mountain fruit as well as valley floor grapes from Estate vineyards, Paraduxx has rich, full fruit flavors and soft, integrated tannins, making it a natural complement to a wide array of foods.

Each vintage, Paraduxx celebrates an artist-label series with a different artist signature medium and style interpreted through a pair of ducks native to the Pacific Flyway. The 2003 Paraduxx label is the tenth in this series. Duckhorn Wine Company supports conservation of the wetlands of the Pacific Flyway.
