2020 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic! Boasting a complex bouquet of ripe blackberry and boysenberry, complemented by dark chocolate and oak. Fresh acidity and lush tannins balance the sumptuous dark fruit, leading to a linger, elegeant finish with a hint of minerality. Enjoy now with braised short rib or grilled portobello mushrooms. Lay it down to let it truly develop complexity for years to come.

Neither a cake, nor a bread. The winery got its start when Jack Cakebread took an unassuming trip to wine country to photograph the area for a book. Within a few days, Cakebread Winery was already taking shape. It’s been a wild ride over the last forty years for the valley pioneers. Visitors to the winery with an interest in wine as a part of healthy living are on the upswing. While times are ‘a changing,’ the winery’s premise remains unshakable; to produce memorable, food friendly wines that speak of their distinctive terroir. Visitors to the Rutherford estate experience the wine, and if they are lucky, a glimpse of Dolores Cakebread’s famed gardens. This is where the good life was imagined, and here it’s eagerly shared.
