2018 Cade Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Howell Mountain

WSI95+ JD95 The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate comes all from the estate on Howell Mountain and is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, and the balance Merlot and Petit Verdot. More blue fruits, bay leaf, candied violets, orange blossom, and floral notes emerge from this full-bodied beauty, which reveals a rounded, sexy texture, polished tannins, and a great finish. Give bottles just a few years in the cellar and it’s going to keep for 15+.
Estate Notes: The resulting wine is fantastic with aromas of clove, cranberry, raspberry, coffee, cinnamon, black pepper, and coco nibs. Gloriously pure notes of boysenberry, graphite, blackberry, coffee and dark chocolate soar from the glass and cascade over the palate. The wine is fullbodied, with an opulent, velvety texture, pure, rich with firm tannins and bold structure that is classic Howell Mountain. 87% Cabernet Sauvignon 6% Malbec 4% Merlot 3% Petit Verdot. 15.6% alc. 19 months barrel aging in 100% French oak.
