Cakebread Cellars, Sauvignon Blanc, North Coast, California, 2024

Overview of the Wine
Over 30 years ago, Jack Cakebread came to photograph the Napa Valley for a book and while there, he casually mentioned his interest in one day owning a vineyard to some family friends who had a ranch in Rutherford. When he returned home that afternoon, the phone rang and it was the family friends offering to sell their property. He headed back up to the valley that same afternoon to make his best offer, and Cakebread Cellars was born.

As the Cakebread family reflects upon the many profound changes in the wine industry over the last 33 years, such as innovative farming techniques and new methods of reaching out to consumers, they note that their key values have remained the same. Dedication to making the highest quality wines and a commitment to family has followed a continuum as their first small vineyard has grown into a thriving internationally distributed wine company.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
This wine bursts with aromas of pink grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, kiwi, and
honeydew, with a tropical lift of guava and lime zest. On the palate, bright citrus and green apple meet orange sherbet and lemongrass, with hints of tropical fruit. A
refreshing acidity carries through to a balanced, lingering finish of citrus, melon, pear, and tropical notes.
