The touchstone of the TEXTBOOK portfolio, restraint over power was Abigail’s goal while crafting Oakville Mise en Place Cabernet Sauvignon.

This wine will age well up to fifteen years.

92 POINTS
“A robust, well-built and focused cabernet sauvignon with aromas of blackberries, spiced cherries, dried herbs, crushed stones and sweet spices. Full-bodied with plush tannins. Generous and charming core of black cherries to the velvety texture. Flavorful and well-balanced.”

— James Suckling, 2024

Our Vision

The concept of “mise en place” comes to life in this wine where every aroma, every flavor, every texture is truly in its place. By using slow, gentle methods like hand harvesting and hand sorting, along with aging in French Oak barrels, we designed this wine to show restraint, a quality that translates into a taste experience that reveals rather than overpowers.

— Abigail Estrada, Winemaker

Named by the daughter of Jon Pey, Founder of TEXTBOOK, Page- Turner reflects the eagerness
we feel each time we taste it. It beckons for another sip.
Grape clusters were hand harvested, then de-stemmed at the winery. Fruit was cold-soaked
for two days.
After 10-36 days on the skins, lots were gently pressed into barrels to complete ML. Aged for nearly 2 years in French oak from the highest quality cooperages: Nadalié and Giraud.

Our Vision

Given the unmatched quality of the Holmes Vineyard, making a Merlot-centric blend from Oakville became an essential for us. Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure to the Merlot’s plush nature while allowing the fruit to be in the spotlight. Field sorting and hand-harvesting protected the integrity of the fruit for a wine.
