2019 Cakebread Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Uno September - 2025
For us the Labor Day Weekend, was a Good Friend, Good Football, a Good Steak, and a Great bottle of wine, brought to us by the Good Friend! The wine was Cakebread Cab and the steak was a two inch thick Slab of fillet, and the football was the kick-off of the NCAA (SEC) season. It don't get much better than that, Buddyroe!
This wine jumps out at you when you get even close to the glass. The nose is bursting with the aromas of black cherry and dusty dark chocolate. The flavors assault your senses with currant, blackberry, and black cherry in the forefront. The complex array leads to a finish with big fruit and toasty tannins, begging for another sip. The alcohol content is 14.8%. and Norm's score is 94.
The Slab and a Napa Cab routine always works for me. and I can't think of a better way to enjoy a bottle of Cakebread Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Even better when you can indulge in a bottle which is more than fives years old, and a Slab of Prime Beef!
score: 94
price : $90 - $105
Now, that's just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!
Here's looking at you Kid!
