Cakebread Cellars

Benchland Select Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Such a delicious treat that is deeply colored & ruby, trending purple; almost inky, staining the glass with each swirl.

Pronounced aromas & flavors of concentrated creme de cassis, ripe blackberry, muddled blueberry, mulberry, luxardo cherry, sandalwood, cedar, sweet tobacco, mocha, nutmeg, cardamom, anise, licorice, clove, graphite, vanilla, creme brûlée, pencil shavings, crushed gravel, & flint.

The palate is dry, viscous, mouth-filling, & opulent, with elevated acidity, alcohol (14.1% ABV), silky tannins & a persistent finish. It’s balanced, intense, & complex.

A superb 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Napa’s western bench, that is soooooo drinkable now but has the structure to age & add layers to the aromatic profile with time.

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

We had to the 2019 Vintage on 11/22/25. A very good full bodied wine. The bouquet and flavor profile are darker and more subdued fruit compared to a Napa floor wine. There is some mocha and minerality. This wine would be better in five years. — 13 days ago

Vintner Select Cuvee Sonoma County Merlot 2010

Who says Merlot can not age. This is delightful. I would say there is just a hint of browning at the edges but this is a big glass and if I had, had this with mom at the restaurant instead of the Tor - you never would have seen it. It is rich and full on the palate. Finish is long. I think the nose is a bit muted but given its age super nice — 4 months ago
