2023 Textbook - Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles (750ml)

Textbook's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles embodies the label's signature balance—Californian depth tempered by European-inspired restraint. The long 2023 growing season, shaped by a wet winter and a cool spring, extended hang time on the vine without sacrificing acidity, resulting in a wine with structure and nuance.
