  30 min decant. Well integrated dark berries, cherry and currant with cedar and green peppers dominate. Tannins have settled. Nice smooth mouthfeel like one would expect from a bottle of this price ($75). The 11’s have been inconsistent at best but this is a good effort that is drinking great atm. Probably not worth the price but a truly delicious wine drinking at its peak. Don’t wait too long to enjoy.

  while the 2011 vintage is generally nothing to write home about, the Cakebread Cabernet exceeded my expectations. I have tried a number of Cakebreads and have been underwhelmed but this one was very enjoyable. It was rich and velvety with a hint of spice. Noted of dark berries and cocoa with some pepper. Really good!

  I agree with most others. Good wine but not with the price.
  
  Very good for the poor 2011 vintage.
  
  Drank a magnum at our dinner party and was liked by everyone.
  
  Will save the last magnum for a few more years. Doubt this goes anyone beyond where it is now.
