QRW's 23rd Annual Best of The Best in California awards FIVE STARS to PARALLEL NAPA VALLEY QUARTERLY REVIEW OF WINE'S
Summer 2007
QRW designates its very best wine in each varietal wine with a "Best of The Best/Best of Show" moniker. This is followed by our "Best of The Best/Five-Star" selections (the high 90s for those needing numbers), and our Four-Star selections (low 90s for those still needing numbers).
California Cabernet Sauvignon has never been better...feel comfortable serving side by side with the best Bordeaux. They are truly "The Best."
The Caymus Special Selection, a perennial favorite, was as fine as ever, earning Best of Show, but our blind tasting gave us new and exciting wines, like Parallel...
A Five-Star California Cabernet Sauvignon - 2004 Parallel [Philippe Melka] Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley), $49. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot. Big, rich, ripe, pure, blackberry, mocha and chocolate flavors - hedonistic to the max!
Parallel 2004 ($49) has aromas of coffee, dark chocolate, black cherry, and black currants that jump from the glass. Well-mirrored flavors are rich, generous, and mouth filling with extended length.
