**Matt Parish**, the highly regarded Napa winemaker, announced a collaboration with **Naked Wines**, the largest 100% direct-to-consumer winery in America, to release his new collection of **Reserve Napa Cabernet: Matt Parish The AVA Series** ($69).

The aim of this project is to distill the essence of Napa's sub-appellations, beginning with Oakville and Coombsville, each of which carry a distinct flavor profile, into a world-class bottle of wine. Releasing AVA Reserve Cabernets allows wine enthusiasts to discover and experience Napa's unique vineyards, mile by mile.

"As I celebrate my 33rd harvest and 20th vintage in Napa, I’m delighted to announce the launch of my new sub-AVA collection with two very special bottlings from Oakville and Coombsville,” said Parish. “These have been five years in the making as a collaboration with Naked Wines to bring ultra-luxury wines to wine drinkers. My desire was to create a collection of truly world-class wines to discover, collect, and enjoy on special occasions.”

The first release focuses on the fascinating contrast of Oakville and Coombsville sub-AVAs. These two wines will highlight each area’s unique taste profiles and will take Naked Wines members (known as Angels) on a journey of learning and discovery. Oakville, a long-established benchmark region in central Napa, and Coombsville, a lesser known, newer region in the Southeast corner of Napa, were critical starting points for Matt with their lineage of top-quality vintages and distinct growing conditions.

Parish's new luxury series offers the quality and taste expected from Napa’s high-end wines, at a much more attractive price point. Both wines have a limited production with roughly 3,000 bottles each.

- The first wine in the series, *Matt Parish The AVA Collection Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2020*, is from one of Napa Valley’s most revered vineyards located on the western side of Oakville. While wines from this vineyard typically sell for over $200, Matt’s AVA Collection Oakville Cabernet will be available to Angels on the Naked Wines website for $69\. The wine is dark crimson in color, with perfumed, dark fruit and toasty oak on the nose, and a palate that typifies luxury - structured, complex, and seamless. GPS coordinates on the label indicate the AVA region where his wine was sourced.
- The second wine in the series, *Matt Parish The AVA Collection Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon 2020*, is from a Coombsville estate blending 3 distinct clones of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Estate wines from this vineyard sell for over $150 a bottle, but Matt’s AVA Collection Coombsville Cabernet will be available to Angels on the Naked Wines website for $69 as well. Inky in color, the wine exhibits aromas and flavors of lush, dark, ripe berry fruit, earth and oak spice, and a palate that is focused with layers of minerality and fine saturated tannins.
