Current Release Wines
The Parallel Napa Valley label captures the essence of the lines carved by skis on the first run of the day. The Founding Partners wanted their 40+ years of friendship and life in Park City to be reflected in the wine. The label has served to reflect the 25 years of friendship, planting, tending, harvesting and making wines with famed winemaker, Philippe Melka, and his Atelier Melka Team, from the parallel rows of vines floating across hillside vineyards in Napa Valley and the Sonoma Valley.
We are thrilled to release our inaugural Rutherford Rosé to coincide with our 25th Anniversary!
This stunning Provençal-style Rosé, crafted with 100% Single Vineyard Grenache, is currently the ONLY Napa Valley Rosé being produced by our Principal Winemaker, Philippe Melka, and the Atelier Melka Winemaking Team.

"The 2023 is a classic expression of a cooler season creating unique aromatics of marzipan, mint, bright pear, apricot and hint of white flowers on the 2023 Parallel Sonoma Valley Chardonnay. On the palate, great texture is blended with acidity and tension, flavors of white peach, mint, passion fruit and jasmine. The wine has great weight with layers of creamy butterscotch notes mixed with vanilla and light oak expression. The finish is long and lingering carried by the great acid and complexity. Enjoy now and over the next 10+ years."

"This wine is a fantastic representation of the vintage, showcasing a rich, darker, and sweeter aroma with hints of dried herbs, mocha, blackberry, dark cherry, and blueberry. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture, smooth tannins, a touch of sweetness, and a blend of spices and herbs alongside dark plum flavors. The wine has a nice richness, balanced by a refreshing acidity that adds to its texture and depth. Already approachable and enticing at this young stage, it promises to be just as enjoyable now as it will be over the next decade or more."

95-97 Points (Barrel Sample) - Jeb Dunnuck
"The flagship from this estate is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Diamond Reserve Napa Valley Monument, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that’s still resting in 80% new oak. Its saturated purple hue is followed by a ripe, sexy, full-bodied beauty with lots of cassis and currant fruit as well as ample spice and floral notes, terrific mid-palate density, velvety tannins, and outstanding length."
