Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 750ml

This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with utmost care, sourcing grapes from select Cakebread Cellars Estate ranches and esteemed family-owned vineyards spread across the valley's finest Cabernet Sauvignon appellations. The winery's enduring partnerships with growers ensure a consistent supply of premium fruit from diverse sites, enabling the creation of a stylistically refined and intricate Cabernet. This masterful blend unites the opulent black fruit and robust tannins synonymous with the valley's warmer northern districts, harmoniously merging them with the lively fruit and refreshing acidity characteristic of the cooler southern climates. To guarantee the highest quality, each individual lot of fruit is meticulously hand-harvested at night and undergoes a cold-soak for two days before fermentation, enhancing the extraction of early color, flavor, and tannins. The grapes are fermented and aged separately in barrels, with meticulous attention paid to tank size, yeast strain, fermentation temperature, and barrel type, all tailored to accentuate the unique character of each lot. In the year 2019, the wines were thoughtfully aged for 17 months in French oak barrels, with 50% of them being new, adding another layer of complexity to this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon.
