New Release the 2020 Petit Verdot

A bottle of Parrish 2020 Petit Verdot.

Introducing our first-ever 100% Petit Verdot, an exclusive release for our wine club members! Our 2020 Petit Verdot is a bold and expressive wine, showcasing the full intensity of this distinctive varietal. While we’ve previously reserved this varietal for our Four Chords blend, the 2020 vintage marks the debut of a standalone Petit Verdot and we are thrilled!


About the 2020 Petit Verdot Vintage
The 2020 vintage is memorable much like the year for obvious reasons. Bud break was a little late due to rainfall in the Spring, but there were no frost issues with it being a warmer year. The flowering was normal and occurred in good conditions. Summer arrived with hot weather and record heat waves in August and September. This encouraged the 2020 harvest to begin and end in the blink of an eye. During the beginning days of harvest, Paso Robles and most of the Central Coast was overcast with smoke from fires in Northern California. Despite this challenge, the Petit Verdot was left to complete its ripening and the winemaking team worked their magic to save the wine from smoke taint. Therefore, the 2020 vintage showcases the hardwork and determination of our winemaking team to keep
the quality that you have come to know and love at Parrish Family Vineyard.


After fermentation, the wine was aged for 22 months in 75% New French Oak. It features a combonation of El Pomar and Adelaida estate fruit that was hand harvested. 


Petit Verdot Tasting Notes 
On the nose, you'll encounter vibrant aromas of blackberry and blueberry, interwoven with floral hints of lilac and a touch of warm baking spices. On the palate, rich dark fruit flavors dominate, led by juicy blackberry and ripe blueberry, enhanced by subtle layers of cinnamon and spice. The wine is full-bodied with structured tannins, delivering a powerful yet elegant finish. A true expression of Petit Verdot's depth and complexity.
