Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc North Coast 2022

Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc North Coast 2022 opens with aromas of fresh sweet citrus, grapefruit, and vibrant melon before revealing complex notes of green pear, freshly cut hay, and stony minerality. Light-bodied and elegant on the palate, this wine beautifully balances bright, citrusy acidity with lively flavors of ripe melon, grapefruit, and citrus zest before a smooth, refreshing finish.

We source our Sauvignon Blanc from grapes grown in top vineyards throughout Napa Valley and the North Coast, including our own estate ranches in Carneros, Suscol Springs, Rutherford, and Calistoga. The cooler, southern part of the valley gives us sauvignon blanc with bright citrus characters, flinty minerality, and balanced acidity, while the warmer northern region brings out tropical notes in the final wine. The 2022 vintage had high climate variability beginning with a cool and mild spring followed by a warm summer that led to an early harvest. Grape quality was still exceptional with balanced acidity and freshness, resulting in vibrant fruit-forward wines.
