Our Vision

Simply put, Napa Valley is an incredible place to grow and make Cabernet. Every sub-AVA brings unique nuances. I love tasting each small lot in barrel throughout the year before finally integrating my favorite components. The result is a richly layered yet classic Cab with all the power and intensity that Napa is known for, balanced with the sophistication of European winemaking styles.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

AVA: Napa Valley

  • The 76-acre Yountville Ranch Vineyard sits below the western hillside of Napa Valley. Its benchland soils of well-drained Coombs gravelly loam force vines to root deep and result in wines that are a true reflection of their terroir.

  • Vines were carefully monitored and managed throughout the season to reduce the overall crop, ensuring concentration in the fruit when harvested.

  • Grape clusters were field-sorted, hand-harvested, and hand-sorted at the winery. Fruit was de-stemmed and cold-soaked for two days.

  • The two separate lots spent 20 months in the highest quality French Oak with significant new oak before blending.

Our Vision

Founded in 1836, this small but prestigious appellation is situated in the heart of Napa Valley. With its benchland terroir akin to Rutherford and Oakville, these wines showcase similar intensity, layered complexity, and finely knit tannins, yet with a unique elegance shaped by the cooler climate.

Tasting Notes with Founder Jonathan Pey

Textbook Napa Valley Merlot 2021 - bottle

Vintage: 2021

Varietal: Merlot

AVA: Appellation

  • 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 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.\"

    - Abigail Horstman-Estrada, Winemaker

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.

2021 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

To continue the Pey Family's legacy of delivering Cabernet Sauvignon with power and elegance, Winemaker Abigail Horstman 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.

  • 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.
