Cakebread Cellars planted Sauvignon Blanc as the very first white grape variety at their Napa Valley winery in 1972 — and it’s still thriving there today. More than five decades later, the North Coast Sauvignon Blanc remains one of California’s most reliable and food-friendly whites: sourced from North Coast vineyards and Napa Valley estate ranches in Carneros, Suscol Springs, Rutherford, and Calistoga, fermented in a variety of vessels to build complexity, and crafted for the kind of zesty, citrus-driven freshness that makes it perfect for the aperitif hour and the dinner table alike.
The 2024 growing season delivered ideal conditions — winter and spring rains, moderate summer temperatures, and an extended pre-veraison period that allowed clusters to accumulate a wealth of aromatic compounds. The wine bursts with aromas of pink grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, kiwi, honeydew, guava, and lime zest. On the palate, bright citrus and green apple meet orange sherbet and lemongrass, with hints of tropical fruit and a refreshing acidity that carries through to a balanced, lingering finish of citrus, melon, pear, and tropical notes.
