Summary

The Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay from Napa Valley's 2017 vintage showcases the winery's commitment to quality, having been founded in 1973. This wine is crafted from cool Carneros fruit and undergoes barrel fermentation in French oak, with partial malolactic fermentation and sur-lie aging, resulting in a rich and layered profile. Tasting notes reveal a delightful blend of golden apple, pear, and lemon curd, enriched by hints of vanilla and a creamy texture. The wine finishes vibrantly with mineral notes, and it is designed to complement a variety of foods, reflecting the winery's focus on versatility. The grapes were harvested before the heat spikes and fires that affected the region.
