Producer Information: Cakebread Cellars
Founded in 1973 by Jack and Dolores Cakebread in Rutherford, Napa Valley, Cakebread Cellars has built its legacy on a commitment to sustainable viticulture and meticulous small-lot winemaking. The family-owned winery is deeply rooted in the heart of California’s premier wine region, where gravelly soils and cool morning fogs shape the character of their estate-grown grapes. Their philosophy centers on expressing the unique terroir of each vineyard site through careful hand-harvesting and gentle fermentation techniques. While their Cabernet Sauvignon captures much of the valley’s power, Cakebread also crafts elegant Chardonnay from Carneros and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc that highlights Napa’s diverse microclimates. Their portfolio extends to Merlot, Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley, and a crisp Rosé, each reflecting a thoughtful approach to varietal expression without venturing into spirits or non-wine beverages.

The base Cabernet from this terrific estate is the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, which checks in as 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It has beautiful notes of crème de cassis, graphite, tobacco, and ground herbs as well as a dense, rich, concentrated style on the palate. This terrific Cabernet is going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and cruise for upwards of 15 years (or more) in cool cellars.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, aged for 17 months in 56% new French oak. Very deep purple-black colored, it has a pronounced nose of crème de cassis, blackberry tart and warm mulberries with touches of Chinese five spice, camphor and tar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate features loads of black fruit preserves, framed by chewy tannins and great freshness, finishing with a compelling herbal lift.
Cabernet Sauvignon is a prominent red wine grape variety known for producing full-bodied wines with a rich flavor profile. Characterized by notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, it often features hints of green bell pepper, tobacco, and cedar. The wine typically exhibits dark fruit aromas complemented by herbal notes such as mint or eucalyptus, along with vanilla and spice from oak aging.
This varietal is primarily grown in renowned regions like Bordeaux in France, Napa Valley in the USA, Coonawarra in Australia, and the Chilean Central Valley. With its robust tannic structure and smooth finish, Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with grilled meats like steak or lamb, hearty stews, aged cheeses, and even dark chocolate desserts. Its aging potential makes it a favorite for collectors and ideal for special occasions or formal dinners.
