Sipping Fine Wine 
Cakebread wine offerings are among my Favs, Chard is no exception, consistent quality year/year. 95% of grapes sourced from Carneros, ‘18 saw 8 months on 1/3 new oak with about 20% of wine going through malolactic fermentation. Aromas of stone fruits, slight & honey scents. On palate complex flavors of apple, peach & lemon zest, balanced with good acidity & great mouthfeel. Long finish ending with fruit, wet stone and toasty character. Very nice, will benefit from short aging.

Wonderful Chardonnay. Celebrating Miranda’s final (almost) night before returning to the University of Notre Dame for her sophomore year after 5 months of COVID-19 isolation. Enjoyed with scallops and asparagus risotto.
