Textbook Cabernet Paso Robles California 2023

The Napa Valley is a tight knit region where handshake deals still happen and relationships are everything. Jonathan and Susan knew that in order for TEXTBOOK to fulfill its potential, they’d need to collaborate closely and respectfully with all of their partners. These friendships form the foundation of everything TEXTBOOK creates, and the results shine in every glass.

Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in the Napa Valley because of its perfect combination of soil, climate, and terrain that creates layer upon layer of complex, evocative flavors. Our Oakville neighbors are iconic in the wine world – cult producers of Cabernet —Screaming Eagle, To-Kalon, and Harlan. Our Napa Valley vineyard partners are similarly high caliber, and they provide us with superior lots for consistent quality.

Tasting Notes: On the nose, there are lovely aromas of Satsuma plum, Black cherry, and subtle graphite from Paso Robles’ mineral-rich soils. On the palate, I get the flavors of ripe red cherry, mixed berry pie, and Tahitian vanilla. The finish is smooth with well-integrated tannins. It’s opulent, richly textured, and beautifully balanced.

Pairing Suggestions: Burgers, Pizza, Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Meats, Smoked Meats
