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
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
A lovely Napa merlot with a little addition of CS. This is the same winery that brought as the CADE and the "baby cade". The grapes are coming from the Oak Knoll region of the Napa Valley which is a bit cooler. The wine is elegant and pleasant with aromas of black fruits, cherries, light vegetal notes and red current. Medium body, smooth and velvety, with nice balancing acidity and round tannins, very supple finish. My score 88+ drink to 2021 — 9 years ago
Very industrial smelling, petrol, Cade oil. Prunes, savoury, smoked. Very interesting palate, star anise, still stands strong with medium tannin. — 9 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
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

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
