2022 13th Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain

The 2022 vintage was a very early and warm vintage. A heat dome hit during Labor Day, catapulting sugars and, therefore harvest. While some blocks fared well through the heat dome, others with rocky soils and low water holding capacity needed to be picked. Therefore, some blocks used for this blend were picked almost 4 weeks apart from the same vineyard. It shows how diverse the soils, microclimate, and, shall we say, terroir is on our CADE 13th Vineyard estate. All formats are packaged in a wood box
