winemaker's notes:

Cakebread Cellars 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts enticing aromas of ripe black fruits and dark chocolate, with lush, concentrated, blackberry, black cherry and black fig flavors. A supple structure of fine tannins is well-integrated with the wine’s ripe fruit and fresh acidity, leading to a finish full of rich dark chocolate and blackberry flavors. Delicious to drink now, this classic Napa Valley Cabernet should develop beautifully in bottle for another 5-7 years.

A Customer - California
Very surprised with this wine. Had it on Valentine's day. Nose was wonderful, first impressions of complexity and to me, the most enjoyable, the finish. The finish was almost chocolate and I want to say floral. I am scurrying to get as many bottles for my house as I can. I had it with a steak dinner by the way.

A Customer - VA
As with *any* glass of wine, drink it as if its your last one. The color is quite deep - not quite blood red. The aroma is definitely there and it "fills" your nose. Very easily one of the stronger aromas I have "smelled". Do me a favor and take a *big* first sip - you really get to appreciate the age of the wine. For a 3-4 yr old wine tastes so mature, wonder how a 7 yr old will fare ? hmmm....

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
