CADE Howell Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
99 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a tiny selection of the best barrels, and it’s another just about perfect 2021, offering a saturated purple hue as well as an awesome bouquet of black and blue fruits, spicy oak, graphite, and iron, with a kiss of Graves-like scorched earth. 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.”
Original price was: $280.00.$225.00Current price is: $225.00.

A selection of the winery’s best barrels, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve offers up hints of mocha and dark chocolate set against a backdrop of blueberry fruit. Some subtle herbal nuances creep in as well—sage and thyme—also cedar and perhaps even pine needles. It’s a complex array of flavors and aromas delivered by a full-bodied, richly concentrated wine that’s never hard, just plush and velvety from start to finish.
Plumpjackl’s CADE dream came to fruition in 2005, in the form of a 54-acre estate, elevated high above the fog line, on the dramatic slopes of Howell Mountain. Absolutely ridiculous. The state-of-the-art winery pays tribute to the land, both aesthetically and ecologically.
The two-fold commitment initiated in the vineyards with a painstaking program of natural cultivation to convert the vineyards to organic farming practices. “Change is good, green is good, organic is good,” says CADE partner John Conover about the estate’s environmentally proactive approach to winemaking. “We’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do as stewards of the land.
Even though this project is still relatively new, the early results have been nothing short of excellent on Howell Mountain. Every year, this is a consistently super highly rated project that features some of the best expression of Howell Mountains power and finesse. Plumpjack’s sibling winery even steals the spotlight in great vintages like this one.
