Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 is a notable representation of Napa Valley winemaking. It displays a complex array of aromas, featuring blackcurrant, plum and hints of cedarwood. On the palate, rich dark fruit flavours are intertwined with subtle notes of tobacco and anise, complemented by a structured tannin profile. This wine reflects Cakebread Cellars’ commitment to quality, a family-owned producer since 1973, renowned for emphasising sustainable vineyard practices. While enjoyable now, it has the potential for further ageing over the next decade.
