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.

91 Points, James Suckling
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.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
#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.”
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.
