Cade’s 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain embodies the true power and elegance of Napa Valley’s esteemed mountain vineyards. Sourced from the elevated slopes of Howell Mountain, this wine reflects the unique terroir of the region, where cooler temperatures and well-drained soils contribute to the complexity and depth of its character.
The 2021 vintage is rich and full-bodied, offering a striking balance of dark fruit and bold tannins. Aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, and hints of mocha rise from the glass, along with a touch of earthy minerality that speaks to the mountain's rugged landscape. On the palate, this Cabernet reveals layers of concentrated flavors—black cherry, plum, and a dash of chocolate, all framed by well-integrated oak and a touch of spice. The tannins are firm yet velvety, leading to a long, powerful finish that leaves a lasting impression.
With its structure and intensity, Cade’s Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2021 is an exceptional wine to pair with rich meats like grilled steak or braised short ribs, or to enjoy on its own as a showcase of Napa Valley’s best. A wine that promises great aging potential, it’s perfect for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a premium Cabernet with depth and longevity.
Cade Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2021 is a wine that reflects the rugged elevation and volcanic soils of its origin. In the glass it shows a deep, opaque purple with ruby highlights. The nose is powerful yet refined, opening with blackcurrant, blackberry, and cassis layered over crushed graphite, cedar, and mountain herbs. Subtle floral hints of violet emerge with air, mingling with cocoa and baking spice. On the palate it is dense and structured, carrying ripe black fruit framed by firm but polished tannins. The mountain terroir lends a freshness and minerality that balance the richness, while notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and savory spice unfold into a long, commanding finish.
This Howell Mountain Cabernet is built for bold, flavorful dishes. A char-grilled ribeye with rosemary and cracked pepper amplifies its dark fruit and spice, while braised short ribs or beef tenderloin highlight its structure and depth. Roast lamb with garlic and herbs mirrors its savory elements, and venison with a berry reduction plays to both fruit and earth. Mushroom-based dishes such as porcini risotto or grilled portobello caps bring out its mineral backbone, while aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or sharp cheddar provide a salty counterpoint. For a decadent end, flourless dark chocolate cake or espresso panna cotta pairs seamlessly with its cocoa and coffee undertones.
