The wine finishes with a vibrant acidity and a beautiful creamy texture. The addition of Viognier and the Sauvignon Musqué adds a lot of the honeysuckle and floral notes.

The grapes were harvested from August 12th–September 9th, 2024. The 2024 growing season was more like a typical Napa Valley growing season. Budbreak was about average, beginning in late March/early April for the Sauvignon Blanc. There was little to no frost in 2024. The summer months were warm, with temperatures reaching 100°F and very few days over 105°F.

The addition of Viognier adds viscosity and a floral note to the wine that is very intriguing and complex. The wine has beautiful minerality, acidity, and texture. It was a unique vintage in Napa Valley, and, therefore, I think it is one of the best Estate Sauvignon Blanc blends we have ever made.

That was the latest pick of Semillon from the property on record.

We picked the fruit from these vineyards starting on September 7th and finished on October 4th. The 2022 vintage is memorable for its intense heat wave around Labor Day. If you weren’t picking during that event, then you were in trouble. Our vineyards in Rutherford and Oak Knoll fared through the heat event quite well, so what could have been a very challenging vintage turned into a rather elegant and supple wine.</span></p>\n"

"body": "<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2021 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, blueberry, clove, graham cracker, cola, and crushed rose petals. In the palate are flavors of crushed blackberries, raspberry coolie, milk chocolate covered black cherries, caramel, coco powder, anise, and vanilla extract. The tannin structure in this wine is both powerful and refined. There is a length and persistence to this wine that is what makes this vintage of CADE Reserve very alluring and age worthy. The wine finishes with flavors of candied blue and black fruit, fresh plums, and espresso. This wine is a blend of the best blocks, best barrels, and overall, a wine that reflects the best of Howell Mountain.</span></p>\n"

With full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, awesome mid-palate, and building tannins, this classic, age-worthy Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon deserves a solid 5-7 years of bottle age and will see its 30th birthday in fine form.” – Jeb Dunnuck</span></i></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><b>Varietals </b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90% Cabernet Sauvignon</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5% Malbec</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5% Petit Verdot</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><b>Alcohol</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15.9%</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><b>Production </b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">57 barrels</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><b>Release Date</b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">September 2024</span></p>\n"

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 13th Vineyard estate.</p>\n"

This blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec is so harmonious that it’s already approachable, but it should have the inherent structure to drink well for at least another 15 years</i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.” </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">– Wine Advocate</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><b>Varietals</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">97% Cabernet Sauvignon</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2% Petit Verdot</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1% Malbec</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><b>Alcohol</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15.5%</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><b>Production</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 Barrels</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><b>Release Date </b></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">April 2025</span></p>\n"
