Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, Napa Valley, California

2020 vintage – 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec. Aged 17 months in French oak barrels, 47% new. Tasting Notes: ” Our classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a complex bouquet of ripe blackberry and boysenberry complemented by notes of dark chocolate and toasty oak. The fragrant and sumptuous dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and lush tannins with a lingering, elegant finish and a hint minerality. We blend our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from special spots throughout the region: The renowned cabernet sauvignon appellations of Rutherford and Oakville impart classic Napa Valley bold fruit intensity, while the warmer Calistoga area to the north, and the cooler southern reaches of the Suscol watershed contribute layers of complexity and depth of flavor. These distinct sites with diverse soils and microclimates enable us to craft a rich, yet elegant classic Bordeaux-style blend that highlights the best of the Napa Valley.”
