2021 Cakebread Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
#39-2022
We just got back from an enjoyable week at the beach, where we saved the best restaurant for last. Unfortunately the restaurant was "All Show, and No Go", with high prices and substandard cuisine. It must be a place which preys on the tourists. However, all was not lost, as we enjoyed a wonderful bottle of Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc, which almost made up for the poor fare.
The Cakebread has a fragrant nose with the aromas of flowers, melon, and citrus. The flavors are clean and crisp, highlighting pear, melon, and stonefruit with a refreshing minerality in the finish, and also a slight touch of oak. The alcohol content is 14.1%, and Norm's score is 90.
This Sauvignon Blanc would be an excellent choice for Italian Fruit de Mer, or Fettuccine Alfredo, or even Shrimp Scampi.
score: 90
price: $30 - $35
