Cakebread Reserve Carneros Napa Chardonnay 2023 Rated 93JD

Cakebread Reserve Carneros Napa Chardonnay – Iconic Napa reserve Chardonnay.

Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 93
Poached pear, lemon, honeyed white flowers, and hints of cream corn all shine in the 2023 Chardonnay Reserve, a medium-bodied, balanced Chardonnay that has a fresh, focused mouthfeel and a great finish. It’s beautifully done and brings classic California fruit with class. It should drink well for 4-6 years. Drink 2025-2031.

Wine Tasting Notes
Seductive, slightly floral aromas of creamy golden apple and honeydew melon, with complementary scents of creme brulee, yeast and mineral, preface a lush, full-bodied palate offering intense and expansive melon, peach and apple flavors accentuated by fresh, perfectly balanced acidity. The wine’s long, elegant and focused finish showcases bright, apple-y flavors with hints of citrus, mineral and oak spice. This delicious and complex Cakebread Reserve Carneros Napa Chardonnay chardonnay is enjoyable now, but will gain further complexity with another 5-7 years aging.
