Wine Description
Cakebread Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, from Napa Valley, offers generous aromas of boysenberry, black cherry and fig accented with earthy notes. Robust, concentrated flavors on the palate, the wine offers blackberry and boysenberry notes layered with hints of minerality. Structured and opulent tannins fill the palate with a deep, powerful black fruit finish. Dancing Bear, despite its intensity, displays a charming elegance. Delicious upon release but will more than reward another decade of aging. Enjoy with rosemary braised lamb shanks, filet mignon, or grilled portabello mushrooms.

Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator
Dark and winey, with a solidly built core of steeped black currant and fig compote flavors laced with tar and warm black licorice notes. Well-structured, with a typical Howell Mountain spine driving the finish, where echoes of tobacco and espresso crema linger amidst the fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2033. 2,750 cases made.
Wine Advocate
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Dancing Bear Ranch is composed of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges out of the gate with bold crème de cassis, blackberry pie and plum preserves scents, followed by touches of star anise, bouquet garni and tar with a waft of crushed rocks. Full-bodied and packed with juicy black fruits, the palate is beautifully framed by plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with loads of fragrant earth and exotic spice accents.
James Suckling
A concentrated cabernet with aromas of baked blackberries, dark cherries, chocolate, coffee, toast and sweet spices. Full body with firm, creamy tannins. Rich and chewy. A blend of 98% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

Cakebread Cellars is a famous winery located in Rutherford, California, right in the middle of Napa Valley. Jack and Dolores Cakebread started it in 1973, and it's still run by their family today. They're known for making some of the best wines in Napa Valley. The winery started by chance when they bought some land while on a photography job, and this turned into a big name in wine-making.
Cakebread Cellars has vineyards all over the valley, like the famous Cakebread Vineyard in Napa and the special Apple Barn Estate Vineyards. Places like Suscol Springs Ranch and Dancing Bear Ranch on the banks of Anderson Creek show how varied Napa Valley's land is.
These spots are carefully picked because they have the perfect conditions for growing grapes. This shows Cakebread Cellars'...check our brand Cakebread Cellars
