Heritage

This is a story 90 years and four generations in the making. The family’s roots start with their grandfather planting 500 acres of grapes in Atascadero during Prohibition. Today, the family manages 70 acres on two estate vineyards in Paso Robles. Specializing in Bordeaux varieties, winemaker and owner, David Parrish, worked five decades designing and installing vineyard trellising throughout many infamous wine regions. His heart remained in the Central Coast and moved back to Paso Robles to create estate-inspired, Napa-style Cabs in Paso’s calcareous limestone soils.

Why Choose a 5-Year-Old Cabernet Sauvignon Over a 2-Year-Old?

By cecily • March 28, 2025
At Parrish Family Vineyard, we take pride in crafting exquisite Cabernet Sauvignons that are as complex as they are delicious. While younger Cabernets have their charm, there is something undeniably special about savoring a bottle that has had time to age gracefully. Here, we explore why a 5-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon offers a drinking experience that surpasses its younger counterparts.

The Role Of Barrels In Winemaking

By cecily • December 15, 2024
There are a lot of options and factors that make barrel decisions complex for the winemaker. It is an important decision as the chosen vessel will direct the structure and flavor profile of the wine.

How was Harvest 2024?

By cecily • November 25, 2024
The 2024 vintage was a hot vintage with an extremely warm and long Summer in Paso Robles. We began harvest on August 30th with our Sauvignon Blanc and completed harvest on October 16th with Petite Sirah and Grenache. To give us a little more insight, we caught up with Winemaker, Cody Alt to learn more about the vintage. How did the hot weather impact the harvest?  Cody: It was reminiscent of the 2022 vintage. Our yields were lower for us as well as most of Paso Robles. David said it is not uncommon for vines to auto-regulate after a high-yield year. Last year (2023) we had a much milder Summer and a cool Fall, which increased our yield.
