Over 30 years ago, Jack Cakebread came to photograph the Napa Valley for a book and while there purchased a family friend's ranch in Rutherford that would become Cakebread Cellars. This 1997 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a brilliant, light garnet color. On the palate, flavors of rich black cherries, sweet currants, and cassis combine and flow into a lingering aftertaste. The overall taste-impression of this wine is one of rich black fruit in a delicious balance.

"Full, but not heavy, with a long, smooth plum and cocoa finish. This is a stylish and elegant black knight." (WE 93)
