Winemaker Notes
The 2023 Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc (North Coast, California, USA) opens with bright aromas of pink grapefruit, lemon curd, fresh pear, melon, and passionfruit. On the palate, lively citrus and kiwi are layered with hints of mango, guava, and pineapple, all carried by crisp acidity. Light-bodied yet concentrated, it balances vibrant fruit with a refreshing mineral finish, making it both elegant and invigorating.
About Winery
Cakebread Cellars was founded in 1973 by Jack and Dolores Cakebread in Rutherford, Napa Valley, California. Their journey began when Jack, originally a photographer, visited Napa to shoot images for a wine book and ended up purchasing a small ranch. From those modest beginnings, the family built a winery that quickly gained recognition for its Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, later expanding into Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and other varietals. Over the decades, Cakebread Cellars has grown into one of Napa Valley’s most respected family-owned wineries, known for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and hospitality, with wines now distributed internationally.
