About Cakebread 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Very rare Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon! They blend this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from special spots throughout the region, including the renowned cab appellations of Rutherford and Oakville, which impart classic Napa Valley bold fruit intensity, as well as the warmer Calistoga area to the north and the cooler southern reaches of the Suscol watershed, which contribute layers of complexity and depth of flavor. On volcanic rocky hillsides, grapes undergo a beneficial struggle that results in intense fruit, firm tannins, and distinctive minerality, while in the deep, well-drained soils of the valley floor, grapes develop ripe black fruit concentration, balanced acidity, and supple tannins.
Each year, they vinify dozens of different lots of Cabernet, assessing each one repeatedly in order to select only the very best lots for the final blend. The 2020 growing season began with a warm, dry winter and mild spring, which prepped the vineyards for a long, even ripening season. Summer was dominated by cool mornings and warm afternoons, ripening the fruit, showcasing its distinct varietal aromas and concentrated flavors.
The blend is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec and was Aged 17 months in 47% new French oak and 53% neutral French oak.
Winemaker Stephanie Jacobs describes her wine as such... 'Our classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a fragrant, complex bouquet of ripe blackberry and boysenberry complemented by notes of dark chocolate and toasty oak. Rich and smooth on the palate, the sumptuous dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and lush tannins with a lingering, elegant finish and a hint minerality. Enjoy this wine now, with everything from filet mignon to fire-roasted portobello mushrooms—or lay the wine down and watch it continue to develop complexity in the bottle for years to come.'
We love Cakebread Cab and know that you will too!
