A fuller style of chardonnay with lots of cooked apple, pear and plenty of cream and lemon undertones. Flavorful and bright. Drink now.

Wine Spectator, June 2017

Showing subtlety and finesse, this is understated in every aspect, from the delicate white peach, nectarine and light honeydew melon flavors to the dash of spicy oak. An alluring wine that gains depth with each sip. Drink...

Jack and Dolores Cakebread bought their first vineyard in 1972, a 22-acre site. The next year, they founded their Rutherford-based winery, Cakebread Cellars. The winery now holds 1,100 acres spread over 13 sites in Napa Valley and Anderson Valley with about 560 of those acres under vine. Cakebread is still owned and operated by the family.

Cakebread Cellars is best-known for its Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. It also produces Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, Lake County Zinfandel and Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Merlot.

The wine styles are flavorful and generally fruit-driven, but still reflective of terroir. New French oak is used moderately and enhances the wine without obscuring natural complexity.
