2013 CADE Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain

The wine has aromas of blackberry jam, boysenberry, black cherry, roasted coffee, dark chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla extract, brownies, and cherry cola. The palate is mouth coating, like maple syrup, with huge density and a lingering persistence. The wines structure is formidable and the tannins are robust. It finishes with flavors of coffee, cola, jam, and chocolate covered blackberries. This wine is a reflection of the best of the vintage and the best representation of Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from the CADE Estate Vineyard.
