New release CADE is Plumpjack's hot new winery on Howell Mountain. Limited. This wine is filled with a gorgeous perfume of honeyed pears, guava, lemon grass, pink grapefruit and a waft of lemon lime soda. The palate is full of tropical flavors and delicate kiwi plus a greatintensity of lemon and lime citrus flavors. The semillon and viognier added to the blend invoke another level of complexity with flavors orange blossom and lemon curd. The barrel fermentations add a satiny texture, density and viscosity to the mid-palate of the wine. The concrete adds a touch of flint and mineral to the finish of the wine while the stainless steel fermentations preserve the natural Sauvignon Blanc aromatics, the racy backbone and the zesty crispness.. Brix26 Inside Scoop: PlumpJack's new winery, Cade, is up on Napa Valley's Howell Mountain and is turning out some fantastricly rich mountain Cabernets.

Extremely underwhelming and dull. Thin and almost watered down as if two ice cubes were left in the glass to melt. No nose to speak of. Crisp and tart on entry and then it just falls off a cliff.

Decent minerality, nose of river rock. Powdery lime rind from a waxed fruit, cucumber spa water, Thai spices.

Tart crisp refreshing sauv blanc with hints of tropical fruit mixed with high citrus content - needs food but will match well
