Winemaker's Blend

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Cakebread Cellars Winemaker's Blend is a stunning Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the renowned Napa Valley, a region celebrated for its exceptional winegrowing conditions. This red wine showcases a full-bodied character, delivering a rich and satisfying mouthfeel that envelops the palate. With bright and lively acidity, it offers a refreshing lift that perfectly balances the wine’s depth. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring vibrant notes of blackcurrant and ripe plum, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and dark chocolate that add complexity to its profile. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's elegant finish.

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.
