Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc North Coast 2024 750ml

Winemaker Description

The 2024 growing season provided ideal conditions for our North Coast Sauvignon Blanc to develop healthy canopies and clusters that ripened beautifully. Winter and spring rains provided ample water, and moderate summer temperatures kept fruit steadily marching towards maturity. An extended pre-veraison period allowed clusters to accumulate a wealth of aromatic compounds that translated into fresh, complex Sauvignon Blanc.

This wine bursts with aromas of pink grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, kiwi, and honeydew, with a tropical lift of guava and lime zest. On the palate, bright citrus and green apple meet orange sherbet and lemongrass, with hints of tropical fruit. A refreshing acidity carries through to a balanced, lingering finish of citrus, melon, pear, and tropical notes.

    •    Sourced from North Coast vineyards and Napa Valley estate ranches in Carneros, Suscol Springs, Rutherford and Calistoga
    •    A variety of fermentation vessels results in a lively, citrus and melon-flavored wine
    •    Very versatile as an aperitif or with fish, poultry, pasta, salads

Sauvignon Blanc was the first white grape variety Cakebread planted in 1972 adjacent to the winery, and it's still thriving there today. Zesty citrus aromas and flavors and balanced acidity make this classic Sauvignon Blanc perfect for a multitude of dishes.
