Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2021 Review

The Cakebread family has a wide range of wines in their portfolio, but Sauvignon Blanc, in 1972, got them started. This bottle shows they have been intimately involved with this variety ever since. It is a lithe and refreshing Savvy B that's aromatic and mineral-driven on the nose. The palate has some grip to it, but it’s subtle. The wine sees just a touch of neutral (used) barrels, so there is a slight oaky vibe. A very refreshing, elegant wine.
