1984 cakebread cabernet

I am doing research on a 1984 Cakebread Cabernet- i would like to know how this year was and any information of value or taste. If anyone has any information or a good site that may i would greatly appreciate it.


!984 was a good, but not great, year for California Cabernet. Some of the '84s were excellent, and should still be holding. Many are near the end or past plateau unless they were cellared well.

I can't speak for the Cakebread. I never tasted it, but if you'd like to bring it by I'll give you an honest opinion on it. :^)

I tasted the 84 Cakebread many years ago (early 90s). At the time, it was a fairly good, middle-tier, fruity, soft and not too complex wine that reminded me of Welch's grape jelly.
