Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, USA 2019

The 2019 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is a refined and expressive wine that captures the elegance of the vintage. It opens with rich aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, complemented by notes of mocha, cedar, and subtle oak spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and well-balanced, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity that give the wine lift and structure. Flavors of ripe plum, blackcurrant, and cocoa unfold seamlessly into a long, smooth finish. This Cabernet is approachable now with some decanting but has the depth to age gracefully for a decade or more. A classic Napa Valley offering that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty dishes, or a quiet evening glass.
