The 1983 Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon is a balance between fruit and finesse. The nose is full of berries - raspberry aromas drifting to cherry aromas - so that the wine asks for sipping even now. French oak flavors and deeper herbaceous Cabernet aromas give the wine added complexity that will evolve into the special bouquet that comes with aging.

Cakebread suggests that red wines have a plateau - not a "peak" - and that the 1983 vintage is just approaching the beginning of its plateau. You should enjoy watching it change over several years as it moves through its full aging cycle.
