13th Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2022 vintage was very early and warm. 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. Thus, some blocks used for this blend, while from the same vineyard, were picked almost 4 weeks apart, which shows how diverse the soils, microclimate—and, shall we say, terroir—are on our CADE 13th Vineyard estate.
