In jewelry making, a bezel is the grooved setting that secures a gem or watchface in place. The name speaks to the craftsmanship behind every bottle of Bezel wine – the skill, precision and experience we’ve honed through 50 years of winemaking at Cakebread, and brought to the Edna Valley.

Cakebread is the most recognized and popular premium California Chardonnay in the US. Most of their production goes only to top restaurants, very hard to get and highly allocated. Since 1973 Cakebread has been making wine in Napa Cakebread and have decided break out and explore the rest of Califrnia to make great Chardonnay. They have taken their 50 years of experience in making great Chardonnay to make this superb Chardonnay that’s tremendous quality at a great price. The Cakebread team selected cool climate vineyards in the Edna Valley which allows for longer hangtime and optimal ripeness. The result is richer fruit flavors, added concentration and purity. Only the finest barrels are selected to go into the wine which ensures that the oak uplifts rather than dominates the fruit. The wine is the Bezel Chardonnay 2021 that’s spectacular Chardonnay with the Cakebread signature style that can be enjoyed daily and affordable for every occasion. This is going to be my house Chardonnay for the rest of the summer.
