Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2022

The 2022 vintage in Napa has all the makings of a special, classic vintage and at Cakebread Cellars they enjoyed one of their best, most straightforward harvests in recent memory. All of this sets up perfectly for ageworthy, meaningful Cabernet.  The winery, like the majority of their neighbors in the Napa Valley had a banner year for all varietals but Cabernet in particular is looking juicy, full-bodied and ready to go right out of the gates. Cakebread’s 2022 Cab is every bit as good as any I’ve had for under $100/btl. It’s dark-garnet to the rim,  with a plethora of inviting aromas of black and blueberries, creme de cassis and Black Forest cake with some dried fruit and herbal notes. It’s a full-bodied beauty that should have 15-25 years of aging, but is already flashing so much in its youth.

Original price was: $95.00.Current price is: $79.00.

The name Cakebread reverberates throughout the wine world whenever it’s mentioned. It’s not only one of America’s most popular wines, it’s one of the most famous brands in the world, led by their world class Cabernet production.

I have previously been able to score Cakebread Chard, but this is the first time I got the flagship wine under the Cakebread name. It’s ridiculously allocated with my source only getting six cases to sell a year! Finally mine are here.

The history of Cakebread is a who’s who of some of America’s important wine pioneers. Jack Cakebread started it all. Robert Mondavi was the original enologist with Larry Wara as his consultant, The pair had to make the wine at neighbor Keenan winery while they were waiting for their world class winery to be designed and built by William Turnbull.

Over the decades, amazingly, the quality of the wines never faded, they only improved. It’s part of what makes this winery so special. In my last twenty years in the restaurant industry, Cakebread Cellars has never left the Top 10 most popular restaurant brands. The reason is really simple: the wines always elate their customers.
