On the palate are aromas of pineapple, guava, tropical fruit, Asian pear, candied lemon, and green melon. The wine has a bright acidity and wonderful texture on the mid-palate. While the core of this wine is Sauvignon Blanc, the Musqué, Sémillon, and Viognier add a lot of floral notes and viscosity to this vintage. We captured these wonderful floral notes by fermenting each variety separately in concrete eggs, stainless steel drums, and tanks. The French oak barrels, in which 10% of the wine aged in, were very lightly toasted to preserve the delicate fruity aromas and provide a creamy texture to the mid-palate of the wine.</span></p>\n"

We also worked with three other properties: Stanley Vineyard in Oak Knoll (17%), Berggruen in St. Helena (9%), and Juliana Vineyard in Pope Valley (14%). The grapes were harvested from August 28th through September 25th. The 2023 vintage was very cool and later than average. This produced grapes with naturally lower sugar content and higher acidity simply because we had very few days during the growing season above 90°F. Nonetheless, the resulting intensity of fruit and the variety of fruity aromas and flavors in the finished wines make the 2023 vintage unique.</span></p>\n"

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"

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"

The texture and structure of this wine are in perfect balance. The addition of Malbec and Petit Verdot brings aromatic complexity and adds depth and weight to the mid-palate.

As with most top 2021s, it needs bottle age, but it is just loaded with potential. Full-bodied aromas and flavors of red, blue, and black fruits, graphite, spicy oak, and chalky minerality all shine in this beauty, and it&#8217;s focused, full-bodied, and structured. It picks up more violet and floral notes with time in the glass, and it&#8217;s very much in the focused, concentrated, pure style of this great vintage.
