The Story Behind the Wine: Founded by Jonathan Pey, Textbook Vineyards draws inspiration from European craftsmanship, emphasizing structure, restraint, and a sense of place in their wines. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon sources grapes from four distinct sub-districts in Paso Robles, each contributing unique characteristics:

• Estrella District: Hot days and moderate evenings foster ripe fruit flavors and well-developed phenolics.​
• El Pomar District: Proximity to the Templeton Gap allows cool marine air to maintain acidity and develop complexity.​
• Geneseo District: Warmer climate ensures tannins fully mature by harvest, resulting in powerful wines.​
• San Miguel District: Limestone soils impart a distinct minerality.​

Winemaker Abigail Estrada meticulously aged individual lots separately in French oak for 14 months before hand-selecting the final blend, achieving a balance of richness and restraint. 

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Steak & Red Meats: Perfect with grilled ribeye, filet mignon, or slow-braised short ribs, enhancing the wine's rich fruit flavors and tannic structure.​
• Aged Cheeses: Pairs beautifully with aged Gouda or creamy blue cheese, balancing the wine's complexity and acidity.​
• Vegetarian Options: Delicious alongside mushroom risotto or roasted eggplant with balsamic glaze, highlighting the wine's earthy undertones.​
