About this bottle
Cakebread Cellars' 2021 Chardonnay comes from Napa Valley, one of California's benchmark regions for the variety, and shows the full-bodied, richly textured style Cakebread built its reputation on. The nose offers ripe apple, pear, and citrus, and the palate turns creamy, with stone fruit and lemon layered over a hint of oak and a mineral thread on the finish. It's made in the classic Napa Chardonnay mold — weight and roundness first, acidity second — rather than the leaner, unoaked style some producers favor. This bottle suits someone who wants a Chardonnay with real presence, not a background sipper, and it holds up well next to richer food.
How to drink Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay
Serve slightly cooler than room temperature, 50-55F, in a larger-bowled glass to let the fruit open up. Its weight and creaminess are built for roasted chicken, grilled seafood, or a cream-sauced pasta rather than anything raw or delicate.
