Pale lemon with aromas of citrus, tropical fruits, honeysuckle and herbs. On the palate flavors of fresh crisp apple, melon, grapefruit and lemon zest, vivid acidity nicely balanced. Long crisp finish ending with a citrus mineral character. Very Nice! — a month ago

The perfect pairing to our crawfish and shrimp pastalya. Apple, pear, and butterscotch notes. A seriously fantastic Chardonnay. I never get tired of, Cakebread wines 💜💛 — 4 months ago

Cherry, vanilla, black berry.. on sweeter end of a cab. I know there are finer wines out there, but cake bread has consistently been some of my favorite wine for years now. I always look forward to a package when it arrives! — 5 months ago

A toast to Rosemary Cakebread as we sit to watch season 4 of the CROWN, highlighting other incredible Trail Blazers - PM Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth II, and Diana. This cab can really go another 10 years plus, but enjoyable now with some decanting. cedar and tannins on the nose - casis and fruit on the palette. — 6 years ago

Saw @Ted drinking this so I thought I'd join him. I'm having the 2023, though. Not a bad wine from the Cakebread people. Very sour nose of overripe berries and musk melon. Super tannic, cedar, blackberries, bay leaves, minerals, and apple skins lingering on the long finish. Having one glass now, and will revisit tomorrow. It really tastes like a tight Bordeaux wine.

Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit, forest floor notes and sweet spices. On the palate ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors, with some dried fruit notes, tea, toasty vanilla oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this wine to a long finish. Good now! — 2 years ago

Nice woody, dusty nose. Dark burgundy color. Slightly reminiscent of Cakebread but not as good or powerful. Overall, underwhelming for the price. — 5 years ago

Definitely a new world big cab blend. Heavy but very pleasant oak. Big wine, but Syrah is a nice way to balance out the heavy tannins of cab. Would definitely buy again, though pricey. Same category as Cakebread IMO. — 6 years ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and spice scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. Pair this with a tuna steak. — 3 months ago

Got this at Cakebread in Napa in February 2020 for about $45. (Their tour is amazing and they're so nice there.) This red blend is just so balanced and enjoyable. Some earthy, some berry flavor. Great with grilled steak and chocolate. — 5 years ago

Robert Pepi Vine Hill Ranch. Vines at the time 30+years old. If you can find 1981-87. I recommend trying a bottle. Now the hillside portion of this winery are sold to...Tor, Araujo, Lail, ETC. Valley floor is all Cakebread. — 6 years ago
