"A 1,600-case blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot (all from
Howell Mountain), the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals excellent
potential. It possesses high acids, high tannin, and, as most mountain
Cabernets do, requires some bottle age. A deep ruby/purple color is
followed by a closed, formidably endowed, forbiddingly backward wine.
Give it 3-4 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following two
decades.
This is the new vineyard and winery of the Getty family and San
Francisco’s mayor, Gavin Newsom, the partnership that also owns
Plumpjack. Cade has the same winemaking crew as that estate, led by the
talented Tony Biagi, who is backed up by consulting winemaker, Nils
Venge. In addition to these red wines, a Sauvignon Blanc is also made,
but I did not have an opportunity to taste it. The Napa Cuvees are made
from purchased vineyard sources, the Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell
Mountain is also a product of purchased fruit, and the debut estate
wine, the Cade Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, is a 100% estate bottled
offering. As one might expect, given the quality of the Plumpjack wines,
the Cade offerings are serious." 91 points, Wine Advocate #180 Dec 2008
