2021 Chardonnay 1.5L
Carneros Napa Valley
Relaxed gatherings, shared dinners, and long afternoons that turn into evenings. It’s made for easy connection—something to open, pour generously, and enjoy as the moment unfolds.
Our flagship Napa Valley Chardonnay opens with aromas of ripe green and golden apple, accented by fresh white peach and light oak. Acros s the palate, this golden wine is silken in texture with flavors of apple, citrus and pear balanced by refreshing acidity. The long finish is clean, with underlying hints of minerality, vanilla and lemon. This is a versatile pairing wine we love it with grilled seafood and nearly any selection of cheeses.

The very first wine released from Cakebread Cellars nearly 50 years ago was our 1973
Napa Valley Chardonnay. Today, the grapes behind this wine come from the cool
Carneros appellation at the southern edge of Napa Valley. In this fog shrouded
appellation, the Pacific Ocean moderates temperatures creating the perfect
microclimate for ripening premium Chardonnay. The soils in this area are primarily
Haire Loam, which naturally help grapevines regulate vigor to yield highly concentrated
grapes that create long lived wines.
The 2021 growing season started off with a dry winter followed by a warm spring and
summer. Drought conditions naturally reduced vine vigor and yields however the
resulting fruit was concentrated and very high quality, leading to excellent wines.
