2018 Parallel: Club Exclusive
After more than a decade, we are so excited to present another vintage of our Parallel! A blend of Merlot and Malbec, the last Parallel was first crafted in 2010, and is one of our most coveted library bottles. One of our lesser known custom red blends, this originated when Susan, still helming the winery after David’s passing, wanted to continue to create interesting red blends that would showcase Oregon’s climate - and to be wines that David himself would have liked. Susan had never heard of a blend of Merlot and Malbec, but thought that the combination could be delicious - the softness of the Merlot taming some of the intensity of the Malbec, which would help provide structure to the wine.
In 2018, David's daugher Kira decided to craft another Parallel with her husband, Lucas. Working with fruit primarily from Southern Oregon, the result is this refined wine with deep, dark, rich fruit that lives up to it's predecessor in both quality and flavor.
