Highlights

  • This is a "textbook" expression of Oakville, displaying the appellation's iconic depth and richness
  • It features the five core classic red varieties led by Cabernet Sauvignon, the signature grape of the appellation
  • Each lot matures separately in French oak before blending to achieve balance and complexity
  • True to our house style, this age-worthy, elegant wine balances Napa power with European sensibility

Description

The TEXTBOOK name harkens back to the brand’s founding in 2004, when the Pey family tasted barrels of their inaugural Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, and immediately realized the style was 'textbook' Oakville.

Crafted by talented winemaker Abigail Estrada, this special lot pays homage to our origin story, offering a quintessential expression of Oakville’s unrivaled richness and elegance. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend, reflecting the soul of this iconic region, with the four remaining signature classic red varieties providing additional depth and complexity. We proudly present a true collector's gem, destined to age gracefully for 5 to 15 years.

Abigail Estrada

Winemaker, TEXTBOOK

Winemaker, Abigail Estrada

A Bay Area native and UC Davis enology and viticulture graduate, Abigail Estrada didn't travel far from her roots to TEXTBOOK Vineyards in the Napa Valley. Still, the path to get there took her around the world for harvests in four different countries, including Italy, New Zealand, and Israel, where she was exposed to a wide range of climates, vineyards, varietals, and winemaking techniques.

As Winemaker at TEXTBOOK Vineyards, Abigail is in a unique position to leverage her aptitude for innovation and experimentation with new techniques in the cellar. Her holistic knowledge of Napa Valley’s coveted vineyard sites brings a valuable perspective to winemaking as she works alongside TEXTBOOK founder and wine industry veteran, Jonathan Pey.

Country born: United States

Education: My mentor is Winemaker Kimberlee Nicholls. She hired me for my first full-time job in the wine industry, as the Enologist at Markham Vineyards. Her friendship, mentorship, and empowerment has shaped me as a winemaker.

TEXTBOOK Founder, Jonathan Pey and I work closely in crafting these small lots. His insights shaped by the trials and triumphs of founding TEXTBOOK have been invaluable in how we craft each vintage.

Years in the wine industry: 10-15 years

Winemaking Philosophy:
TEXTBOOK wines are designed to capture the soul of each variety – expressing the unique, identifiable qualities of the fruit, soil, and climate. We accomplish this by seeking out the best parcels of the region, integrating these lots for balance.
