Cakebread Cabernet Release Party

As long-time Cakebread Wine Club members, we always attend their Cabernet Release Party while we're in Napa.  It's a fun affair with the current releases being featured, food being served and several Cakebread family members in attendance.  

The following wine was featured this year:

2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley (new release)
2009 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain
2008 Benchland Select Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
2005 Vine Hill Rance Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

It's always a hard call to determine which Cab is the best each year - Dancing Bear, Benchland Select or Vine Hill.

Dancing Bear is on Howell Mountain so, of course, it's usually my favorite.  However, this year the Vine Hill was a strong contender.

Thanks to Cakebread for a lovely party and a great time!
