Textbook (Jonathan & Susan Pey)
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Today I have opened the 2018 The Pey Family Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon. From Saint Helena, CA Napa Valley. This is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Merlot. A nice surprise at this price point, well worth it.
On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, plum sauce, vegetal notes, black currant, mint, spice, violets and earth.
On the palate I find black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry, black currant, green bell pepper, spice, mocha, pencil shavings and earth.
This wine is full bodied with a fresh vibrant mouthfeel medium + acidity and medium+ sandpaper tannins that leaves you with a long vegetal black fruit earthy finish. A beautiful wine from the Pey Family. Have a wonderful weekend and please stay safe and healthy as we all start looking forward to the holidays ahead. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Incredible presence on the nose: big time Bordeaux notes but opens into a portal of Napa jammy red fruit greatness. Mature ripe red fruit yet maintaining a sturdy jammyness and fruity jamboree...an excellent Cab Sav! Pairs awesome with a steak or hearty meal!

Lots of fruit forward aromas and flavors of black berries and currants. Hints of cedar, chocolate and earth. The big fruit makes the wine taste a bit sweet. Nice structure and balance. Not too heavy, and quite smooth.

Got a screaming good deal on this wine ($11) so for the price I was very satisfied. Mouthfeel and fruit are there. Not super complex but a solid cab that can stand on it’s own. I would buy a lot more if I found it close to my price. If it were $40 I wouldn’t be as enthusiastic.
