This wine opens with aromas of ripe golden apple, white peach, and notes of oak. On the palate, apple and pear characters are balanced by fresh acidity, and the finish is clean, with appealing mineral notes. This is a versatile food-pairing wine—we love it with fresh salads, grilled scallops, and nearly any selection of cheeses.
While shooting photographs for Nathan Chroman’s “Treasury of American Wines”, (in 1972) Jack and Dolores Cakebread casually offer to buy the Sturdivant Ranch in Rutherford. The Sturdivant’s take them up on the offer, and soon the first Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc is planted on AXR1 rootstock.
In 1974 The initial winery is built pondside after two years of evening and weekend work, and Cakebread Cellars releases its first wine- a 1973 Chardonnay (157 cases total). First Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon (’74 vintage) is released released in 1976, and first vintage of Zinfandel (from Las Domingus Ranch on Howell Mtn).
