Year in year out, Cakebread is recognized as one of the best and most reasonably priced Merlots from Napa Valley. The 2008 wine is deep red with hints of purple, aromas of ripe black cherry, and on the palate plum and concentrated ripe cherry sliding to a long, slightly spicy finish. Over the past four decades, Cakebread Cellars has established a reputation as one of Napa's best producers of premium wines.
Allow 30+ minutes for breathing and serve at 18℃; this wine makes a pleasing partner for all types of fowl, especially rich duck dishes, meats and hard cheeses of medium pungency; also lovely with Beijing duck.
18 months in French oak, 43% new.
Enjoy now or through the next 3 - 5 years.
