Cade

Charles de Cazanove

Vieille France Champagne Blend

On 2.11.2019 at 10:02pm my son, Austin Cade, entered into this world. I think it only fitting to (finally) celebrate with some bubbles that were gifted to me and my wife by some dear friends for the occasion.
.
Copper, orange peel, citrus zest, and yeast. Nice mouthful with good body, but not overly heavy or generous. This can handle some stout food.

Estate Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Amazing. Have had a lot of good wine lately, put this against 2014 Dunn Napa, 2008 Far Niente--this shines versus those. Amazing balance--beautiful and unique plum/blueberry fruit and in a subdued manner but one that balances with the well structured nature. Only recent wine that can compete with this is the 2012 Cade Reserve but this will be there in a couple years. — 6 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Mike, Kel...thanks for dinner last night!! Ladera, one of our favorites...Howell mountain...reminds me of our recent fall trip to Napa. So sad Ladera has sold out to Cade, hopefully they make a return appearance! — 7 years ago

Beautiful Howell Mtn Cab. I'm a fan of Ladera and Cade so why not Hall. Very drinkable now but I'll let the rest of the case age a bit. — 8 years ago

Reserva Finca Ygay Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

This Spanish Rioja is just as good as the CADE cab I just had and is less than half the price, therefore it gets a perfect score. The difference is the rioja is a tad bit sweeter in the beginning and possesses less tannins in the finish. It also has a little more buttery middle. Everything else is almost identical!!! - Dr Todd Vineyards and Herron Family Wines — 5 years ago

Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Second best cab I've had behind 2012 Cade Reserve. Amazing flawless balance--velvety chewy tannins, mellow fruit, dirt/rust in perfect harmony. — 5 years ago

Reserve Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Nothing like a Howell Mountain super wine! Dark fruit, mocha, and licorice on the nose. Bold tastes of blackberries, black plums, figs and licorice. Tannins are super sleek and acidity is perfect. A really great wine. — 6 years ago

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

I could smell this one for days - spice box, toasted oak, blueberry, wet slate/minerals, and huckleberries. Very unique and incredibly silky smooth for a 2012. Purple cork always excites me especially from Howell. Thanks for the recommendation @Carl Fischer @Shay Aldriedge . Had a curve ball thrown at me - only 2011s on the menu. Almost went with the 09 Cade but asked if other bottles and vintages in stock - scored a 2012! Superb!! But from your night @Carl Fischer 2011 would have been just fine! Enjoyed after Straight No Chaser 🎅🏻🎄🎁 and vaguely remember @Daryl Calhoun mentioning his acappella days - ha! #chriscarpenterisgod — 7 years ago

@Ryan Mitchell my do-wop a cappella days are long behind me, but I recall one concert singing with the Nylons (look them up, young one). Straight No Chaser a great group - probably was a fun concert. Cheers!

Adaptation Wines

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Happy Birthday Neal! Drank next to the 2014 Cade. More expressive nose than the former and the lightness carries through to the palate. That being said, it lacks the concentration of the Cade and seems a touch shallow in comparison. They call this baby PlumpJack...whatever. Fun to try them back to back. Better value than the Cade. — 6 years ago

Winemaker Tony Biagi (Cade / Plumpjack) and California wine distributor Kimberly Jones' joint venture. You can taste the greatness to come in this one! A bit firm now, so give it time. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot. Aged in 100% new French oak. — 7 years ago

Actually this is the basic Cabernet, not the Avoyelles which is the High end one, unless they took the name off that was there on the 13 I still have a couple bottles left & a Magnum @Edmond Bordelon, The Avoyelles was a Parker 98 in 2013,

Paul T. You are absolutely correct! I have the Avoyelles review coming up next. Just got too excited about them both! Fantastic stuff! Thanks for clarifying.

Best expression of the grape I have tried, tasted it along side Cade Sauvignon Blanc and Frank Family Chardonnay, although very different varietals, the Fiano sang like a fiddle, beautiful and simple. — 8 years ago
