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. — 5 years ago
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
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
Ruby color. Ripe fruit, red and black cherry, plum. Spice, cedar, leather. M+ tannin, m body. Black berries, plum. Long finish. An elegant wine. — 8 years ago
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
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
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
TJ found in Napa. Same owners as Plumjack and Cade — 8 years ago
Side by side with Cade. Both nice wines. Good matchup. Enjoyed with squash ravioli. — 6 years ago
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
Very enjoyable — 7 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
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
uno classico, una sicurezza, nella sua fascia si prezzo si cade sempre bene, naso, frutto, gesso, mineralita eleganza ed equilibrio, ecco se proprio vogliamo fare un appunto si sente che è costruito, sempre uguale, ma le maison importanti sono così è forse è quello che si aspettano i clienti, di trovarlo sempre così, una sicurezza — 8 years ago
