Wine Description

The Cade Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 from Cade Winery Napa Valley is a rich and full-bodied expression of Howell Mountain Cabernet. This wine boasts beautiful aromas of cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and cocoa nibs, along with hints of baked red delicious apples, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee. On the palate, flavors of rhubarb pie, cinnamon, clove, red cherry, and boysenberry unfold, offering a delightful complexity. The 2021 vintage has that classic Howell Mountain structure with great density, elegance, and length, making it a standout in any collection.

This wine is deep dark purple in color, reflecting its intense and spectacular presence in the glass. The texture is velvety, and the finish is long-lasting, leaving behind a satisfying richness on the palate. This Howell Mountain Cabernet is crafted from a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot, bringing balance and complexity to the fruit.

The 2021 Cade Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 19 months in 100% French oak barrels, 79% of which were new, lending a subtle cooperage influence to the wine’s final flavor profile. Fermentation occurred with hot fermentation temperatures, producing a concentrated wine that was pressed off at 20°-12° Brix and aged to perfection.

Winemaker Danielle Cyrot skillfully blended this vintage, creating a wine that combines the strength and power of Howell Mountain with remarkable finesse. The 2021 vintage was warm and early, yet it produced wines of great length, bountiful fruit, and elegance, all characteristic of the Cade Estate Cabernet.

The 2021 Cade Howell Mountain Cabernet has received high praise from critics. Wine Advocate awarded it 93 points, noting its full-bodied nature and velvety finish, with hints of pine and sage accenting the ripe black cherries. Jeb Dunnuck also gave it 93 points, praising its ripe blue fruits, violets, and outstanding length. Vinous highlighted the bold, creamy texture, while The Wine Independent awarded it 94 points, describing its blackcurrant jelly flavors and wild blueberries, framed by firm, grainy tannins.

The Cade Cab is a wine that stands out. The pepper and smoke notes create a rich flavor, while the dark chocolate and raspberry notes add a sweet undertone. The red fruit and mocha notes round it off perfectly, creating a wine that is as complex as it is enjoyable.

This Cade Estate is a stunner. It’s a Howell Mountain Cabernet that packs a punch with its bold coffee, baking spice, and strawberry notes. The jam-like sweetness is perfectly counterbalanced by the clove’s warmth.

Wine Advocate

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cade Estate combines fruit from the original vineyard and 13th Vineyard. It shows hints of pine and sage on the nose, accenting a base of ripe black cherries, while the full-bodied palate is concentrated. It’s rich without being overdone, with a long, velvety finish.

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain comes almost all from the estate on Howell Mountain and is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, and the rest Merlot. It has classic Howell Mountain style in its ripe blue fruits, violets, iron, and bouquet garni-like aromatics, and its medium to full-bodied, with a rich, mouth-filling texture and outstanding length. It has another 15 years of prime drinking ahead of it.

Vinous

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is wonderfully alluring. The purity of the fruit is quite striking. Bold and creamy, with terrific depth, the 2021 is surprisingly accessible for a young Howell Mountain Cabernet. Succulent dark plum, mocha, spice, leather and menthol are front and center. Dollops of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Merlot add aromatic and flavor complexity. - By Antonio Galloni on December 2023

The Wine Independent

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has 6% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot in the blend. Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps with notions of kirsch, wild blueberries, and blackcurrant jelly giving way to nuances of red roses, underbrush, and fried herbs. The full-bodied palate is laden with densely packed black fruit layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing with a real skip in its step.
