Bezel Edna Valley Pinot Noir 2020

Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit, forest floor notes and sweet spices. On the palate ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors, with some dried fruit notes, tea, toasty vanilla oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this wine to a long finish. Good now! — 2 years ago

Papillon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Needed a day or two to open up, extremely complex, incredible wine but very specific. Not as velvety as say a caymus or cakebread but still fantastic. — 9 years ago

Zeitgeist Cellars

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Big, jammy, and rich with some dark chocolate spice. Right in line with the other big Napa Cabs we love like Cakebread, Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel, etc. Ordered this at Sonoma. WBA — 9 years ago

Dominus Estate

Napanook Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Nice woody, dusty nose. Dark burgundy color. Slightly reminiscent of Cakebread but not as good or powerful. Overall, underwhelming for the price. — 5 years ago

Penfolds

Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2016

Definitely a new world big cab blend. Heavy but very pleasant oak. Big wine, but Syrah is a nice way to balance out the heavy tannins of cab. Would definitely buy again, though pricey. Same category as Cakebread IMO. — 6 years ago

Au Bon Climat

Santa Barbara County Chardonnay

Best chardonnay I've had in years- easily beats Cakebread, bringing a lighter overall impression without losing complexity or surrendering buttery notes. BEP selection, 4/2019. — 7 years ago

Bergström Wines

Silice Pinot Noir 2013

This was drank on Feb 2017 with venison, pork porter house and grilled trout after sleigh ride to 10,000' and following great Cakebread Chardonnay. Full of dark berry, wonderful taste and dry. One best pinot's I have had. Will look for what is available. Highly recommended. — 9 years ago

Vaca Estate Vineyards Red Blend 2016

Got this at Cakebread in Napa in February 2020 for about $45. (Their tour is amazing and they're so nice there.) This red blend is just so balanced and enjoyable. Some earthy, some berry flavor. Great with grilled steak and chocolate. — 5 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

A toast to Rosemary Cakebread as we sit to watch season 4 of the CROWN, highlighting other incredible Trail Blazers - PM Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth II, and Diana. This cab can really go another 10 years plus, but enjoyable now with some decanting. cedar and tannins on the nose - casis and fruit on the palette. — 6 years ago
