The 2012 Parallel Russian River Chardonnay dis-plays considerable finesse. It possesses a creamy rich texture, yet it is refined with floral and mineral notes throughout. Apricot aromas are inter-mixed with tones of crème-brulee and toasted almond, contributing to the matrix of this wine. The aftertaste is long and intense, it could be the finest of Parallel chardonnay produced so far.
