Winemaker Notes
The 2023 Cakebread Two Creeks Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley, Mendocino, California, USA) opens with bright aromas of fresh raspberries, blackberries, dark cherries, violets, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and vibrant, showing flavors of strawberries, black cherries, and crisp red berries layered with hints of spice and sweet toasty oak. Balanced acidity integrates smoothly with silky tannins, giving the wine lift and elegance, while the finish lingers with rounded berry tones and a touch of bramble complexity.
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.
