Founded in 1973 by Jack and Dolores Cakebread, Cakebread Cellars is a family-owned winery nestled in the heart of Napa Valley. It is best known for its distinctive Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons, which consistently receive high praise from critics and enthusiasts alike. Their Chardonnay typically exhibits a balance between fruit-forward flavours and crisp acidity. On the nose, the wine often reveals aromas of green apple, citrus and tropical fruit, complemented by hints of oak, vanilla and buttery notes. The palate generally features flavours of ripe fruit, such as pear, melon or pineapple, alongside well-integrated oak and a bright, refreshing acidity.
