@Delectable Wine : This is the Parallel Wines Black Diamond “Limelight”. I didn’t see it in the database.

Attended a Parallel Wines private tasting last night. Very nice and classic in style. Didn’t realize how small their production is...less than 600 total cases. This is their 20th year and Melka has been with them from the beginning.

Shockingly open for a reserve 2016 Napa cab (100% cab). It’s still flaunting dusty and chalky tannins on the finish but it’s an iron fist in a velvet glove overall. Black cherry, raspberry fig, plum, and baking spices jump from the glass. Soft on the palate. High percentage dark cocoa, mulberry and fresh cedar.
