2008 Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon
90pts(WS)Aromas of smoldering campfire embers lead to a
complex mix of dried berry, mineral and black olive, with a touch
of dark berry jam. Nicely layered, clean and focused, firming the
finish. Drink now through 2019. 15,000 cases made. James

The wonderfully pure, pretty nose
of our 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is redolent of warm berry cobbler,
with lovely toasted boysenberry and blackberry scents joined by
hints of wild cherry, loamy earth and oak vanillin. On the
supple, beautifully structured palate, the wine offers rich,
vibrant blackberry, plum and black cherry flavors framed by
perfectly integrated tannins and a long, savory finish.
Delicious now, this elegantly sumptuous Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon will develop further nuance with another 5-7 years’
bottle age
