Cakebread 2021 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain98 Points Rare Reserve Cabernet from Cakebread's Howell Mountain vineyard! 98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lastly, the Cakeberrad 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Dancing Bear Ranch comes from a stunning estate vineyard on Howell Mountain with the plantings dating back to 1999. A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and a splash of Cabernet Franc, aged in 59% new oak, this beauty reminds me of a great Saint Julien (Leoville Barton?) with its incredible purity
