2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 

Awarded an exceptional 96 points! Described by Wine Enthusiast’s Matt Kettmann as “thick and nearly opaque in the glass,” this bold wine opens with “dense aromas of cocoa, hard spice and baked black fruit.” The “creamy mouthfeel” is wrapped in “tannins that will last seemingly forever,” while flavors of “black cherry, bittersweet cocoa and graphite hold the attention deep into the finish.”

Wine Enthusiast review of Parrish Estate Cabernet Sauvignon: 96 points, red and white label.

2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – 93 Points 

Kettmann describes it as having “clean and dark aromas of blackberry, toasted wood, warm pastry and a hint of purple flower.” The palate offers a “creamy mouthfeel… framed by firm tannic edges,” with flavors of “blackberry, cocoa and pepper."


Wine bottle label: Parrish 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Red wine bottle with description text.

2019 Four Chords – 93 Points 

This Bordeaux-style blend opens with “freshly smashed boysenberry, black raspberry and red flower aromas,” while the “palate’s tightly wound structure elevates the boysenberry, latte and cocoa nib flavors.”

2019 Silken – 92 Points 

A rich and layered blend, noted for its “aromas of dark fruit, wood spice, and caramel,” delivering “well-rounded flavors of blueberry, blackberry, purple flower and wood… wrapped in fine tannins on the palate."
