Winemaker Notes

This is another stunningly proportioned, majestic mountain Cabernet, with dark chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, roasted coffee and floral notes that are concentrated, full-bodied and multilayered. This skyscraper-like Cabernet Sauvignon is majestic, super-pure and a stunner. This is a beautiful, full-throttle, full-bodied wine that is impeccably well-balanced, with great purity, depth and concentration. This wine is a reflection of the best of the vintage and the best representation of Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from the CADE Estate Vineyard.
CADE Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2013

Critical Acclaim

97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Lastly, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Howell Mountain (100% Cabernet Sauvignon with a screw cap) tips the scales at 15.9% alcohol. This is another stunningly proportioned, majestic mountain Cabernet, with mulberry, blueberry, blackberry and floral notes that is concentrated, full-bodied and multilayered. This skyscraper-like Cabernet Sauvignon is majestic, super-pure and a stunner. The alcohol is totally hidden, so unless youre paranoid, simply see the number, and have an immediate loss of reason, this is a beautiful, full-throttle, full-bodied wine that is impeccably well-balanced, with great purity, depth and concentration. Drink it over the next 15-20 years."
