Parallel Estate
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 mouth-feel 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.
Wine Enthusiast
Delicious and compelling 100% Cabernet from this great vintage. Shows classically developed, sweet Napa tannins and wonderfully ripe fruit. As expressive as the blackberries and currants are, they're reined in with minerals and herbs to produce exquisite tension. Best now, with a good decant, and should develop for may years. Score: 94 - Steve Heimoff, August 2010.

Wine Spectator
Veers toward the earthy, leathery side of Cabernet, with dried currant and berry flavors, herb, spice and cedar. Full-bodied and concentrated, but the earthy tobacco flavors give a drying sensation. Drink now through 2018. Score: 88 - James Laube, July 2010.

parallel 07 review
  Enjoyed this cab on July 17,2010. It is a recent LMG wine club selection. If you do not belong to the prestige wine club of LMG, then let this wine tell you that you should belong! It is a big Napa Cab. Went perfect with our grilled filet, pot roasted sliced potato, carrot, onion, and butter side. We tasted dark berries (cherries), nice long, strong finish. The nose is what you expect from 100% napa cab. If you did not belong to the wine club, you might have missed this beauty!
