2007 Parallel Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Made by Phillipe Melka, universally regarded as one of Napa's top winemaking talents
"In this text book growing season, we harvested the grapes in perfect
conditions about a week earlier than normal, early october. This 2007
wine was made with 100% cabernet sauvignon grapes from Napa Valley; it
reveals delicate aromas of black currant, spices as black pepper and
licorice on the nose and the mouthfeel brings a sense of finesse and
depth. The velvety texture is combined with complex flavors of
graphite, sweet cherry and rosemary finishing with refined tannins. We
feel confident to think that this vintage will be remembered as one of
the best" - Philippe Melka
