Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Cakebread Cabernet - One of Napa's Valley's Classic Cabs and the 2013 is one of the best ever. Fragrant boysenberry, blackberry, dark cherry, cassis and Mission fig aromas comprise the fresh, fruitful nose of the Cakebread Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The first sip of the wine reveals a big, boldly structured Cabernet with deeply concentrated black fruit flavors and intriguing dusty, loamy and mineral-y tones that add wonderful dimension and complexity. Boasting an undercurrent of soft, plush fruit that will emerge further with aging, this sophisticated, yet approachable Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will reward another 5-7 years’ cellaring. Robert Parker: "..among the finest “regular” Cabernet Sauvignons I have tasted from Cakebread.

This beautiful wine is already quite evolved. Inky in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon by Cakebread begins with aromas of anise, mocha and red bell pepper with wild blackberry. The palate shows good balance and weight with black tea, anise, mocha and sandalwood flavors. This shows good intensity and elegance. Drink 2018-2028- 91

A gift from my wife's boss for all her hard work. Enjoyed with friends up in Cambria. Very smooth and not too fruity.

Dark violet purple color. Nice ripe dark fruits, cedar box and tabacco leaves on the nose. Hint of vanilla and graphite as well. Med-full bodied, slight sweet finish with nice dark chocolate and dark roast coffee. Not interesting enough but a nice pair with my ribeye. 14.7% alc. 2013 vintage
