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.

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.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
