2021 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

To continue the Pey Family's legacy of delivering Cabernet Sauvignon with power and elegance, Winemaker Abigail Estrada and Founder Jonathan Pey have traveled to Paso Robles for the 2021 vintage.

Individual lots spent 13 months aging in 100% French Oak before Abigail hand-selected the final blend. Small amounts of Syrah and Petite Sirah — which also thrive in Paso — were added for structure and depth. The result is the signature TEXTBOOK richness yet restraint, allowing this Cabernet to be paired with an array of cuisines or simply enjoyed on its own.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

AVA: Paso Robles

  • Paso boasts the greatest diurnal temperature swing in California, experiencing a 50° difference from day to night.

  • Hot days ensure grapes develop complexity, while cool nights prolong the growing season, allowing grapes to fully mature while maintaining acidity.

  • The region’s diverse mineral-rich soils, particularly those with calcareous composition, imbue the wine with a distinct minerality.

Vintage: 2021

Varietal: Merlot

AVA: Napa Valley

  • Cool marine breezes from the San Pablo Bay create natural acidity in the Oak Knoll fruit - contributing to the “pop” of cherry and bright red fruit characteristics.

  • Yountville's gravelly alluvial soils force vines to root deep, creates rich, complex wine profiles. The AVA produces red fruit flavors and big tannins - raspberry and ripe juicy cherry.

  • 76% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon: Cabernet Sauvignon is blended in to provide a strong backbone and tannin structure, which perfectly balances the plush texture of Merlot.

    "This suave, velvety wine is richly layered in baking spices, cherries, berries and chocolate for an indulgent, almost sweet expression. Tasty on its own or with a filet mignon, the wine will please a crowd of red-wine-lovers."

    —J.G.. Wine Enthusiast, "Best of the Year" Issue, December 2023

  • "This wine is velvet on the palate, with rich aromas of fresh blackberry and bright cherry, complemented by concentrated briary berry compote and allspice flavors. Juicy with a solid chewy tannin structure."

Our Vision

We like to think of our Napa Valley Merlot as our right place, right time wine. You’d be hard-pressed to find a California region where Merlot flourishes better than in the Napa Valley. The slightly longer growing season allows those lush, plush qualities to mature while also giving enough space for the fruit to come to life. The ideal amount of tannin gives the wine enough structure for aging.

2022 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Crafted from two superb grower partners in St. Helena and Oak Knoll sub-AVAs. Each separate lot contributes distinct fruit flavors and aromatics. Aromatics begin with delicate honeydew, cantaloupe, and refreshing lime zest leading to a mouthwatering laser beam of Meyer lemon, guava, passionfruit, and lovely minerality. This wine finishes bright and balanced, with a crisp texture and nice mid-palate weight.

Bottle of 2022 TEXTBOOK Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage: 2022

Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc

AVA: Napa Valley

  • Hand-picked clusters were field-sorted into half-ton bins on August 18 & 22.

  • After destemming, the lots were gravity-transferred into the press. A gentle whole cluster press cycle delivered a 160 gallons per ton.

  • A small portion was barrel fermented in neutral French oak for added complexity.

  • Frequent bâtonnage or “stirring of the lees” achieved beautiful texture.

Our Vision

Hand-picked grapes sourced from two growing appellations; Oak Knoll and St. Helena. Fermenting the majority in stainless steel brought the fruit flavors to the forefront, but a small portion was barrel fermented in neutral French oak to create a rounder mouthfeel. Frequent bâtonnage or “stirring of the lees” achieves beautiful texture.
