Cakebread Cellars
Napa Valley, California
Quintessential Cakebread Cellars' recent release from Carneros AVA
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cakebread Cellars
Chardonnay
Sourced from their Carneros vineyard in Napa Valley, the 2019 vintage enjoyed early rains and a mild summer. The quality of this Chardonnay starts in the vineyard and harvest practices. Nightime harvesting in the cooler evening air allows the grapes to retain their natural freshness and acidity. Hand-picking grape clusters allow for careful selection of only the grapes at their peak. Quality continues through the winemaking and aging process. Fermented and aged for eight months in French oak helped build depth, texture, and body in this newest release from Cakebread.
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, MD, ME, MI, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, SD, TX, VT, WA.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE 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.

Peach
Oak undertones support bright, stone fruit flavors mingling with soft cobbler dessert notes. The 2019 Chardonnay palate is balanced and textured with a refreshing and cleansing finish. This wine drinks well on its own, paired with a casual family dinner or classic Sunday brunch.
