Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2009

Spicy and cedar-like aromas of cassis and dark berries. On the palate, cassis and a hint of chocolate.

Creamy vanilla-tinged oak cloaks dried currant and berry fruit, graphite and crushed rock, firming nicely on the finish. A true to form Cakebread Cabernet. Drink now through 2024. -JL Wine Spectator. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 2009 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 1500ml

Fragrant boysenberry, blackberry, dark cherry, cassis and Mission fig aromas comprise the fresh, fruitful nose of the 2009 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The first sip of the wine reveals a big, boldly structured Cabernet with deeply concentrated black fruit flavors and intriguing dusty, loamy and mineral-y tones that add wonderful dimension and complexity. Boasting an undercurrent of soft, plush fruit that will emerge further with aging, this sophisticated, yet approachable Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will reward another 5-7 years' cellaring.

Oak dominates this wine, with toasty charcoal aromas and flavors. The underlying wine seems pretty simple, with blackberry fruit flavors. Doesn't seem capable of aging, so drink up. - S.H.

A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 2009 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 1500ml

Juicy mulberry flavors focus this cabernet on fruit. Itrsquo;s laden with that dark berry flavor, finishing clean with a dusting of tannin that doesnrsquo;t get in the way of the fruit. A straight forward, satisfying choice at a steakhouse, this may gain some complexity over the next few years.

The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is among the finest ldquo;regularrdquo; Cabernet Sauvignons I have tasted from Cakebread. It exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, stunning purity, subtle notes of smoke, black currants, blackberries, spring flowers and toast, good acidity and ripe tannins. This full-bodied yet graceful, deep, silky Cabernet Sauvignon is already irresistible, but it will provide provocative and complex drinking for 15ndash;20 years. This benchmark winery has again turned out some impressive wines.
