Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

About This Wine

Drawing grapes from Napa Valley's most prestigious terroirs, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the region's signature character. Fruit sourced from Rutherford and Oakville delivers the varietal's hallmark richness and power, while selections from warmer Calistoga and the cooler Suscol watershed add nuanced layers and textural sophistication. The result is a wine of considerable depth, balancing bold fruit expression with elegant complexity.

Tasting Notes

This iconic expression reveals a fragrant, complex bouquet of ripe blackberry and boysenberry complemented by notes of dark chocolate and toasty oak. Rich and smooth on the palate, the sumptuous dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and lush tannins with a lingering, elegant finish and a hint of minerality. Savor this wine now, with everything from filet mignon to fire-roasted portobello mushrooms—or lay the wine down and watch it continue to develop complexity in the bottle for years to come.
