Nose
The nose, rich and complex, reveals black cherries, licorice, and mocha flavors.
Palate
The minerality carries seducing black currant, cassis and mocha along with a classic vanilla from the extraordinary 2007 Napa Valley Vintage.
Growing Conditions
The 2007 Parallel Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from a few select rows in Parallel's St. Helena hillside vineyards overlooking Lake Hennessey.
Aging
Twenty-six months in 100% new French Oak has provided the structure which unveils, as it aerates, a velvety texture and a promise of a long aging potential.
