Silent Lot #119 – Cakebread Cellars
The Sweet Life

The folks at Cakebread Cellars believe that the key to successful winemaking is teamwork, and they have assembled a team with unmatched experience and passion. They believe that life’s occasions are elevated by good people, good food and good wine, and that philosophy flows through everything they do. You can almost taste it in their wines. Try it out yourself by bringing home a Magnum of Cakebread’s 2010 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Blend tonight.

This wine from Cakebread’s high-elevation vineyard on Howell Mountain boasts intense mountain character and optimal balance. Beautifully structured on the palate, its rich, deeply concentrated flavors culminate in a long, spicy finish. The youthful Cabernet blend is delicious now with hearty foods, but will develop even greater dimension and complexity over the next decade. Rated 96+ points by The Wine Advocate, the review points out its “stunning purity, terrific precision, and a full-bodied mouthfeel…a modern-day classic. This iconic wine should last 30 or more years.” But don’t delay; the wine’s limited availability might make it tricky to find.
