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! I got 48 of those 72 bottles to offer up today.. Don’t wait around….
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.

Ripe plums and blackberries with some coca-nib, vanilla, bread-crust and smoke notes. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, deep fruit and bright acidity. Tight and reserved, yet juicy, with a long finish. Approachable now, but better in 2022.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
