From the winery’s two estate vineyards – Dollarhide and Rutherford Estate – St. Supéry once again charms us with aroma therapy for their superb, beautifully balanced Sauvignon Blanc. Lithe and steely, gardenia pops within a frame of sultry pears, salty stone, and Key lime. Mid-palate notes of basil harmonize with a bright acidity that lifts sweet herbs and floral tones.
Housed in 100% recyclable, SFI Certified packaging, one box is the equivalent of four 750 ml bottles (20 glasses). This blend of mainly Carignane and Grenache offers up black cherry painted with cocoa, nutmeg, and coffee. Juicy and easy-drinking, with seamless tannins. Impressive.
Vanilla-plum aromas lead to notes of grilled meats, graphite, and cigar leaf. Silky and dense, with a lathering of anise and bittersweet dark chocolate. Black pepper is subtle, while dark fruits and dried violets integrate with an earthy, toasty, finish. World class.

A caress of melon, persimmon, and nectarine exhibits the bounty of fruit this Rosé of Syrah delivers. Taste the soil through its mineral-toned foundation, presenting a crisp, dry finish of powdered rose petals.
Aromas of lime sorbet, peach, and mineral tones meld into a vibrant style for this variety. Peanut brittle and powdered white flower petals surround stone fruit splendor.
An inaugural vintage of the winery’s first single vineyard, aged 27 months in 70% new French oak. The vineyard’s soils of well-drained, gravelly loam allow the roots to dive deep, exhibited in the wine’s structured tannins. Notes of crushed Morello cherries, red beets, and dark chocolate are luscious and saturate the palate. The silky, creamy mouthfeel unleashes a textural hedonism, reined in by a spark of black pepper, anise, and cedar. Aging potential is destined for greatness.
Grapes are sourced from prestigious sub-AVAs in Napa Valley, including 30% from Textbook’s sister winery, Markham Vineyards’ estate properties: the historic Yountville Ranch and Little Cannon vineyards. Ripe plum and roasted coffee are surrounded by suede tannins. Cigar leaf is softened by black raspberry gelée. A touch of spiced, smoky oak offers a textural fleshiness on the finish.
