Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
One of CA's most popular Cabs Cakebread Cabernet - One of Napa's Valley's Classic Cabs and the 2017 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.

Earthy damp leaves and rain on the nose. Dark fruit like plum, blackberry, cherry. Some fairly healthy acid and tannins that give it more of a dry finish but not overwhelming so. Opens up nicely as it sits. Was a bit tight when first opened but given it’s a 2017 that’s to be expected.

This dark full bodied wine is a great compliment with Italian food. It’s dark fruit, leathery texture and deep tannins makes this California can a must have.

Not as good as I was hoping. Flavor wasn’t all that deep.
