Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay 2022
Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay 2022
Dry, bright and silky. This is a medium- to full-bodied Chardonnay with fresh fruit and a restrained touch of oak. The nose shows green and golden apple, white peach and light toast. The palate brings apple, pear and citrus. Refreshing acidity keeps it lively, and the finish is clean, with hints of minerality, vanilla and lemon.
Cakebread Cellars released its very first wine, a 1973 Napa Valley Chardonnay, and this bottling remains the winery’s flagship. The fruit comes from the cool Carneros district at the southern edge of Napa Valley, where bay breezes and Haire loam soils yield concentrated, balanced grapes. The 100% Chardonnay was fermented and aged for about eight months in French oak, with modest new oak and limited malolactic fermentation. The 2022 is bottled at 13.8% ABV in a 750 mL bottle.
Serve lightly chilled, around 50 to 55°F. Pair with grilled seafood, roast chicken or cheeses.
