Cabernet Sauvignon

2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2022 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable expression of Napa Valley's esteemed terroir, showcasing a deep ruby hue that entices the eye. This full-bodied red wine captivates with its high acidity, providing a vibrant backbone that elevates the overall experience. With pronounced fruit intensity, it bursts with luscious notes of ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry, and subtle hints of plum, complemented by elegant layers of vanilla and chocolate derived from its oak aging. The tannins are firm yet refined, offering a structured mouthfeel that supports the wine's complexity. This wine is beautifully balanced, making it a delightful companion to hearty dishes or an indulgent solo sip.

Region:


Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
