Cakebread Cabernet - One of Napa's Valley's Classic Cabs and this vintage is one of the best ever.
Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Syrah, 1% Cabernet Franc
92 Points James Suckling
Plush and generous aromas of blackcurrants, mulberries and baking spices. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving flavors of olive tapenade, blackberries and cedar. Approachable for early drinking, but it will age nicely. Drink or hold.
Winemaker Notes
Cakebread's classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon offers rich layers of ripe blackberry, plum, and boysenberry, enhanced by subtle hints of dark chocolate, baking spices, and toasty oak. The dark fruit profile is beautifully balanced by bright acidity and velvety tannins, delivering a full-bodied yet refined and elegant structure.
The Cakebread family purchased the Sturdivant Ranch in 1972, released their first wine in 1974, and have been a noted producer of Napa Valley wines ever since.
