Napa Sauvignon Blanc, the Cakebread Way
The cooler southern valley gives this wine its bright citrus and flinty minerality; the warmer north brings the tropical lift. The 2021 vintage was low-yielding but exceptional — an early harvest after a dry winter and warm summer produced effortlessly complex, bright wines.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh sweet citrus, grapefruit, and melon, with green pear, cut hay, and stony minerality (winery notes).
Palate: Light-bodied and elegant — ripe melon, grapefruit, and citrus zest over bright acidity.
Finish: Smooth, refreshing, and lingering.
How to Enjoy
Serve well chilled. It is a natural with goat cheese, oysters, grilled swordfish, and citrus-driven salads — and a beautiful apéritif on its own.
