About the product

The 2021 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon from Cakebread Cellars is a prestigious single-vineyard wine produced from the renowned Dancing Bear Ranch estate on Howell Mountain in Napa Valley. The vineyard sits at high elevation on the slopes of Howell Mountain, where volcanic soils, cooler temperatures, and ample sunlight contribute to grapes with exceptional concentration and structure.

This estate Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the powerful yet elegant character typical of Howell Mountain wines. The fruit is carefully harvested and vinified to preserve the vineyard’s distinctive profile before aging in French oak barrels to develop additional depth, complexity, and refined tannins.

The 2021 vintage is known for its balance of richness and freshness, delivering bold dark fruit flavors alongside structured tannins and a long, layered finish. This wine is well suited for extended cellaring, allowing its complexity to evolve over time.

Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon represents one of the flagship vineyard expressions from Cakebread Cellars, showcasing the winery’s commitment to producing premium Napa Valley wines with both intensity and elegance.

About the brand

Founded in 1973 by Jack and Dolores Cakebread, this is one of Napa’s most iconic family-owned wineries. While their main estate is in the heart of the valley, the Dancing Bear Ranch is their "high-altitude" project—a steep, north-facing vineyard sitting between 1,450 and 1,600 feet in elevation.
