Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
One of CA's most popular Cabs Cakebread Cabernet - One of Napa's Valley's Classic Cabs and this vintage 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 Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon 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. 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.
