2008 Parallel Russian River Chardonnay...$39.99
"This 100% Chardonnay fruit from one of the oldest vineyards in the Russian River Valley was produced in classic 100% French Oak Puncheons resulting in a full bodied wine, creamy yet light on its feet, well balanced and seductive, exhibiting a touch of acidity, spice, coconut, and minerality." - Philippe Melka

Great 2007 Napa Cab from Melka!
2007 Parallel Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon...$49.99
"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"
