ROSEMARY CAKEBREAD
Winemaker & Owner

One in a group of seasoned winemakers who have been instrumental in bringing Napa Valley Cabernet to prominence, Rosemary has earned a reputation for handcrafting wines of grace and balance. Armed with a degree in Viticulture and Enology from the University of California Davis, she was introduced to Cabernet Sauvignon at the historic Inglenook Winery, where she took her first winery job. Enjoying varied experiences, a harvest in Bordeaux as well as immersion in the world of sparkling wine round out her winemaking resume.

A love for Cabernet Sauvignon was nurtured as winemaker for Spottswoode Estate Vineyard and Winery from 1997 through the 2005 vintage where she divided her time between winemaking and overseeing the organically farmed estate vineyard.

Always keen for a new challenge, a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon was the first release under her own label-Gallica. Additionally, Grenache-Mourvedre-Syrah are safely tucked in barrel. Under the moniker, Suzuri Series, a 2010 Grenache blend will be released in fall 2012.
