Cakebread

Cakebread Cellars stands as one of Napa Valley's most respected family-owned wineries, founded in 1973 by Jack and Dolores Cakebread. Located in Rutherford, the estate has built its reputation on consistently producing elegant Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses the distinct terroir of their Napa Valley vineyards through meticulous viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques.

Cakebread's Cabernet Sauvignon program centers on their flagship Napa Valley Cabernet, showcasing dark fruit flavors, structured tannins, and oak integration that reflects classic Napa character. Their reserve and vineyard-designate bottlings highlight specific terroir from premium sites throughout the valley. The winery employs sustainable farming practices and careful grape selection, fermenting in small lots to preserve varietal character. Aging occurs in French oak barrels, with the exact cooperage and toast levels selected to complement each vintage. Under the guidance of winemaker Stephanie Jacobs, Cakebread continues the family's commitment to producing wines that pair excellently with food while aging gracefully. The winery has earned consistent critical acclaim for their balanced approach to Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
