Cade Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
CADE is Plumpjack's hot new winery on Howell Mountain. Limited. 94 Points Antonio Galloni: "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Estate is a model of pure sensuality. Bright red berries, rose petals, mint, anise and crushed rocks give the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Howell Mountain much of its brightness and lift. Winemaker Danielle Cyrot has done a wonderful job with her inaugural vintage at Cade. The 2012 Estate is layered, sumptuous and beautiful. Silky tannins frame a polished finish laced with rose petals and spices. The 2012 is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot."93 Points Wine Spectator: "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Estate is a model of pure sensuality.

Restaurant buy with no air or decant. Drinks great right out of the gate. Finish is a little short- that would be my only negative. Killer example of mountain fruit!

I almost have to punt on this one. The dinner we had with this bottle was SO contrary and confusing, the wine didn't stand a chance. Prior to the courses beginning to arrive it was looking very promising...

aromas of red cherries, strawberry, brambles, and rose petals. The wine is full-bodied with solid structure and tannin and finishes with flavors of cranberry, strawberry jam, allspice, vanilla, clove, cocoa powder, toasted almonds, and chocolate wafers.

Great wine. Paired well with Rib eye. Would let open up. Taste phenomenal. Forward grapes with an abstract finish.
