  • 94 POINTS
    “... this is a most approachable, stylized Cab from Napa Valley. Blended with the four other Bordeaux varieties and aged 16 months in (35% new) French oak it’s ripe and ready, clocking in at 14.1% ABV. Dark plum and mocha are elegantly framed within pleasingly playful tannins, and the mouthfeel is round and sumptuous, with notable balance.”

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.

The touchstone of the TEXTBOOK portfolio, restraint over power was Abigail’s goal while crafting Oakville Mise en Place Cabernet Sauvignon. Saturated in color, it showcases aromas of briary blackberry, Satsuma plum, and cassis. The aromas carry over on the palate, developing into black cherry, dark chocolate, and mocha flavors, with dense, plush tannins and a lengthy finish. This wine will age well up to fifteen years.

Bottle of 2022 Textbook Mise En Place

Vintage: 2022

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

AVA: Oakville District

  • “Mise En Place” is a French culinary phrase meaning “everything in its place.” This name reflects the preparation and diligence exercised in thevineyards and winery.

  • Grapes are sourced from two vineyards situated on the west side of Oakville: Holmes Vineyard, a highly regarded vineyard with which we have a long-standing relationship; and Lincoln Creek Vineyard, a certified organic vineyard producing the popular Cabernet Clone 7. These vineyards lie in close proximity to several renowned cult Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and are dedicated to farming for the superb quality

  • 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

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.

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.

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.
