Cakebread Cellars
Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
A blend of 95% Cab Sauv & 5% Cab Franc, from Howell mountain, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruit, oak, floral and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and ripe jammy cherry with notes of cedar, cacao, tobacco and lots of vanilla spice! Fine soft tannins, well balanced with acidity, long finish ending with fruit, oak, sweet spice, with floral earthy presence, elegant! It’s perfect now, should continue to age well for next decade. Sorry to say, it’s my last bottle!

Lots of dark red currant and plum with a good bit of structure. Always enjoy this bottling!

Nose of caramel, Forrest, pepper, jam, and raspberries. Mouth is gorgeous. Cocoa, pepper, vanilla, berry jam, but a great acidity and tannin in amazing balance. Drinking fantastic after about an hour of air.

Aged 7 yrs. in the euro cave. It was ready to drink. Fantastic, breathed 1 hour and the strawberries were strong on the nose. It was an incredible wine!!! Special bottle.

Fantastic fantastic. Some kind of 'dark' finish. Almost like dark pepper. Jammy but not too much.
