Over 30 years ago, Jack Cakebread purchased a vineyard site in Napa Valley while photographing it for a book, leading to the birth of Cakebread Cellars. The winery is a leader in innovative farming techniques and reaching consumers, with a dedication to quality wines and family commitment driving their growth into an internationally distributed company.
This is a classic Napa Valley benchland Cabernet Sauvignon grown in part on the special Hill Ranch that surrounds the home of Jack and Dolores Cakebread. We’re grateful to receive another (small) allocation of these fantastic wines.

Ginny Povall was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts and began making wine at home as a hobby. She eventually made her way to South Africa to pursue her passion to make wine on a larger scale and she planted vines on Protea Heights Farm, located in Devon Valley, about 10 minutes outside the center of Stellenbosch. Back in the 1940s, this was the first farm in South Africa to grow protea flowers, which is the country’s national flower and Ginny decided to dedicate a fraction of her property to protea cultivation.
Ginny arrived in the Cape back in 2008 with some basic knowledge of winemaking through evening and weekend courses at the University of California and plentiful background reading. Winning Platter 5 Stars from the outset and having to adapt to South African winemaking practices, she really has hit the ground running! The vineyards were freshly planted in 2009 and 2010 and her winery just now coming into steady production and from her inaugural vintage, she has garnered well deserved attention. She practices sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention throughout the winemaking process. The Botanica range of wines have as much personality as their vibrant and charming winemaker.
