Description
This rare expression of Napa Valley winemaking is one of only 60 bottles that will ever be made. Think of it as a bit of Napa Valley history in your cellar and celebrated in a glass with friends and family.
Your Premiere Napa Valley wine is a 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from a small, two-acre parcel of Cakebread’s Hill Ranch estate on the esteemed Rutherford Bench. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon crafted from Clones 341 and 337, and is aged for 23 months in French oak, of which 70% are new barrels. This is a balanced, yet robust wine featuring aromas of wild blackberry, hints of fig and warm earth. The flavors are of concentrated boysenberry and blackberry with a supple palate and fine tannins.
Wine Facts

Julianne Laks
Winemaker, Cakebread Cellars
I started college studying chemistry, then when my family moved to the Napa Valley and I fell in love with the wine industry. My father worked as a winery engineer for Robert Mondavi Winery, and he enlightened me with winery design and layout for energy conservation. I was fortunate to work with Myron Nightingale, where I learned the fine art of blending.
Country born: United States
Education: BS in Fermentation Science UCD; worked alongside Myron Nightingale with great appreciation for his sensory skills and humorous view of life; I briefly got to know Andre Tschelicheff while working at Beaulieu Vineyard and admired his passion for great wine and his intimate knowledge of the vineyards.
Years in the wine industry: 30+ years
Winemaking Philosophy:
Showcase the best fruit in Napa Valley, and don't cover it up. Let the vineyard speak through the wine.
