Classic Napa Cab. Wildly expressive nose. Boysenberry with some earth notes. Medium tannins. A bit shorter finish than expected. This screams give me a bit more time. I bet this will be even better tomorrow.

Wow this was fantastic. Oak, leather and black currants hit your nose up front. Dry with deep cherry flavor and a smooth finish. 2013 vintage.

Nice bottle that shows promise. I may have opened too soon. Signs of complexity not yet fully developed. Black fruit. Smooth. Mineral quality on the nose somewhat.

Can't believe the nose on this one - I could breathe it in for hours. What a treat! Easily one of the best Cabs I've ever had, this Cakebread is simply a pleasure to drink. My boyfriend and I drank it on our anniversary and it was 100% worth the splurge.

The belle of the ball! Light, yet complex. Has nice dark fruit up front (blackberries, boysenberries) with a smoky and oaky in the end and a silky mouthfeel. Soft, chewy tannins and a long finish.
