User Reviews for Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay Napa Valley
Add your reviewThis Chardonnay was light, fruity with strong pear and apple notes, and subtle oakiness that was brought out by time in glass and flavors in the meal. I enjoyed this chardonnay with prosciutto wrapped monkfish and the food/wine pairing was phenomenal.
This chardonnay was sweet, honey and melon flavors, acidic with a smooth finish
This was a nice middle of the day treat. We had it with our lunch and the crispness cut right to my core. There was a little pear on the nose and maybe a little apple. Had a noticeable citrus flavor in the mouth but was well appreciated. The finish ended with a little bit of butter.
The wine is a wonderful light straw color that reminds you of early spring corn fields. The aroma is so clean and fresh, it is hard to believe it is a Chardonnay that can sometimes have a pungent aroma. Once it settles in the glass it has intricate aromas of ctrius, apricot and honeydew melon. In fact, so many different fruits, green apples, pears, popped into my head after every sip it was hard to keep up. There is only a hint of buttery’ness and even less of a hint of oak, which for me is perfect for this wonderfully light yet full of complexity wine. As the wine opens up more, the palate experiences so much more delicious, complex tastes of fruit that ends in a delightful, long finish. You can tell I love, love, love this wine! Big fan! Enjoy on a special occasion or indeed a Thursday night in alone! I paired this wine with Roasted Zucchini and Whole Wheat Pasta and it was fabulous.

Opens with fresh, creamy aromas of ripe pear, apple and citrus, with light butter, yeast and spicy oak tones adding complexity. The wine s rich, focused, green apple, melon and guava flavors are nicely balanced by fresh acidity and a piquant mineral tone
This 2006 Chardonnay displays lovely ripe pear and sweet citrus aromas that are lifted by fragrant white flower and subtle toasty oak scents. The palate has a sleek entry that leads into a creamy, concentrated mid-palate with rich lemon zest, melon, white peach and vanilla flavors that segue into a refreshing flinty and mineral-tinged finish.

A Chardonnay wine from California in USA. 2011 Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay 750ml
Give this fine Chard some time in the bottle to knit together. Tasted at about one year of age, it was a little disjointed, but the parts are quite good. The flavors of pineapples, Meyer lemons and golden mango need time to integrate with the butterscotchy, caramelly oak.
