    VINEYARD NOTES:
    The cade napa valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made from some of Napa’s most renowned vineyards: Kenefick Ranch Vineyards in Calistoga, Beckstoffer’s MelroseVineyard in Rutherford, Hanson-Hsieh Vineyard in
    Oak Knoll, Heitz Cellars in Pope Valley, UC Davis Oakville Station, and Komes Ranch in St. Helena.

    ÉLEVAGE:
    The wine received 18 months barrel aging in 100% French Oak (42% New). Malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel immediately after primary fermentation. The wine was racked quarterly once malolactic fermentation was complete.


    COOPERAGE:
    We use several different coopers for the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon including Sylvain, Nadalie, Seguin Moreau, Taransaud, Quintessence, Saury, Orion, Gamba, and Demptos. Of these coopers we are sourcing the oak from several different forests as well as using a combination of Medium plus and Heavy toasting levels.

    BOTTLING:
    Wine was bottled on May 7th and 8th, 2014

    OUR THOUGHTS:
    The 2012 vintage was a stellar vintage for CADE. The growing season was ideal with summer and fall temperatures in the mid 80’s. The season looked to be a bit early since we started picking Cabernet on the last week of September. However the first two weeks of October were cool and we got additional hang time to develop flavors and mature tannins. The result is a wine with incredible color, aromas of chocolate covered cherries, rose, raspberries, blueberry, and coco nibs. The palate is dense, rich, and thick. It has integrated tannins that are balanced and velvety in texture. The wine finishes with flavors of graham cracker, roasted marsh mellow, berry compote, vanilla, coffee, and cassis. - Winery

    Firm, tight and richly flavored, centered on a core of blackberry and wild berry flavors, with dusty underbrush, black licorice and cedary oak notes. Ends with a long, persistent finish and a tannic backbone that gives the flavors traction. Drink now through 2028. 5,800 cases made. –JL - Wine Spectator Magazine 92 Points

    The opulent, fleshy, sexy, consumer friendly 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as oodles of blackcurrant fruit intermixed with floral and blueberry notes. Lush and plush, it can be drunk now or cellared for 10-15 years, although such well-balanced and forward wines as this can sometimes age two decades or more. - Robert Parker 92 Points
