「自1973年推出第一個年份以來，品質和可持續發展一直是Cakebread的基石。我們是一間家族酒莊，我們希望為後代保護這片土地。」
–Bruce Cakebread
Cakebread Cellars是 Napa Valley 的知名酒莊，1973年創立，這50多年來一直專注於釀造優質的葡萄酒。他們擁有優秀的葡萄園，亦長期與Napa Valley一些最好的葡萄農合作。
這款Cabernet Sauvignon選用了區內多個產地的葡萄，包括以種植Cabernet Sauvignon聞名的Rutherford 和 Oakville，賦予了濃郁飽果的果香；亦有些葡萄來自北面較溫暖的Calistoga，以及南面涼爽的Suscol流域。各個產區的葡萄都有不同的特性，令葡萄酒層次更豐富和複雜。

散發着成熟黑莓和波森莓(boysenberry)的芳香，伴隨着黑朱古力和烤橡木的味道。口感飽滿柔滑。濃厚的深色水果風味、清新的酸度、豐富的單寧，互相平衡，收結優雅，有一絲礦物感。可現在享用，與免翁牛柳到烤大啡菇(portobello)等菜餚都很匹配；又或者窖藏數年，看看它在瓶中會怎樣演化。
