CADE Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 The 2022 vintage was an early and warm one. A heat dome hit during Labor Day, catapulting sugars—and, therefore, harvest. While some blocks fared well through the heat, others with rocky soils and low water-holding capacity had to be picked. The benefit of being at elevation was clear in 2022. Our vineyards did not get as hot as those on the valley floor. We were able to maintain great color and tannin, although slightly lower than average, due to the intense heat in September 2022. But, Howell Mountain always offers more tannin than we need, so having a bit less tannin naturally allowed us to ferment on the skins slightly longer than normal, while still exhibiting that classic Howell Mountain structure and mouthfeel. | 🍷Cabernet Sauvignon | 2022 | $154 |
