A remarkable combination of power, structure, and rich fruit …
Howell Mountain is one of Napa’s most prized high elevation AVAs and home to a number of mind-bending producers … though one of the appellation’s newest members happens to be one of our favorites. Not just on Howell Mountain, but throughout all of Napa…
Cade Estate was formed in 2005 by the brain trust behind Plumpjack. Established under the idea of having two dynamic Napa properties – the projects are stylistically opposite of one another. Plumpjack’s inspiration was to highlight the luscious nature of valley floor fruit in the heart of Oakville. Cade’s position atop Howell Mountain sits above the fog line allowing for maximum sun exposure while it’s high elevation maintains structure in their fruit. The result is Cabernet with remarkable combination of power, structure, and rich fruit.
You’ve heard us trumpet Cade before .. their Cabernet’s are among the finest in Napa. Their Estate Cabernet 2019 is a fine representation of what is yet another amazing harvest in Napa. 2019 earned a 97 point vintage review from Wine Spectator, declaring:
“Wines are ripe and lush yet well-defined; a worthy follow-up to the benchmark 2018 vintage.”
Not surprising is the critical praise of the 2019 Cade Estate Cabernet with double 95 point reviews from Jeb Dunnuck & Vinous. What does remain surprising to us is the price .. the pedigree and consistency of this label earns it status with ‘cult’ level producers at twice the price. Yet you can still attain bottles at just $115 on sale.
