Layer Cake Cabernet
California Cabernet, French oak, layered fruit since 2004.
The story behind Layer Cake
Layer Cake was founded in 2004 by Jayson Woodbridge, the vintner behind Napa's Hundred Acre. The name comes from his grandfather, who said vineyard soils are layered like a cake, and that good wine should show those layers of fruit and spice. The Cabernet is sourced across California, from Paso Robles to Alexander Valley to the Central Coast, then aged in 100% French oak with about 30% new barrels.
That multi region blending is why the wine tastes the same year after year. Local farmers grow the grapes to the winemaking team's standards, and the result is a Cabernet built to compete with bottles at twice the price. We have poured it for Long Island customers for years.
