    Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 Dancing Bear Ranch, meticulously crafted by winemaker Stephanie Jacobs, is a quintessential example of the exceptional quality that Howell Mountain’s terroir can produce. This blend, consisting of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Merlot, embodies the distinct characteristics associated with Cakebread wines.
    As it graces the glass, this luxurious red wine displays a deep, mesmerizing hue, a testament to its rich flavor profile. The aroma of the Dancing Bear Cabernet is a complex bouquet, where black currant, dried cherry, and raspberry jam notes are seamlessly woven with nuances of dark chocolate, coffee, and dried rosemary. Subtle hints of fig, emerging through the aging process in 59% new French oak and 41% neutral French oak, add to its depth.
    On the palate, Cakebread’s Dancing Bear Ranch offering is full-bodied and sumptuously rich. The high elevation vineyards of Dancing Bear Ranch, spanning 1,100 to 1,900 feet, contribute to the unique flavor composition. Ripe cherry, cranberry, and blackberry flavors are harmoniously balanced with layers of mocha, leather, turned earth, and baking spices. The wine’s distinctive rocky minerality, a hallmark of Howell Mountain’s iron and volcanic soils, is also evident.
    The tannins in this Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet are both firm and opulent, leading to a long, fruit-driven finish that reinforces the wine’s complexity and intensity. The 2020 vintage, characterized by its dry, mild winter and consistently high summer temperatures, has resulted in a wine with excellent cellaring potential.
    The winemaking process at Cakebread Cellars is a testament to their dedication to quality. Each block of the Dancing Bear Ranch is harvested nocturnally to ensure maximum freshness, followed by individual maceration and fermentation. This rigorous approach underlines the uniqueness of Cakebread’s Cabernet Sauvignon.
    This Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet has garnered critical acclaim for its robust character and sophisticated flavor layering. It is not merely a bottle of wine but an embodiment of the artistry and distinctive character of Howell Mountain’s vineyards. The Cakebread Cellars’ 2020 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is indeed a remarkable representation of Napa Valley’s winemaking excellence.
