Over 30 years ago, Jack Cakebread came to photograph Napa for a book & bought a vineyard, Cakebread Cellars was born. I always liked Cakebread’s wine offerings, Chardonnay is no exception, consistent quality year/year, reserve is special. Aromas of ripe fruits, citrus & honey scents. On the palate complex flavors of crisp seeet apple, melon & lemon, creamy, balanced with good acidity & great mouthfeel. Lingering finish ending with sweet mineral spice. Nice now but a few years in cellar will benefit.

Phenomenal mouth feel. Strong but refined oak into syrupy vanilla and cask spice. Big flavor, well developed and complex. Absolutely worth what I paid. Will be buying again and perhaps aging a few more years. 7 years in bottle upon tasting.
