When last tasted about 3 years ago, the palate left much to be desired. This is finally coming together.
The nose shows beautifully with blackberries, prune, black tea leaf, cured meat, black pepper, and cocoa powder. Medium to full, the palate is lush, silky, and powerful. Fresh round acidity and fine grained tannins. Long candied herbal finish.
This will continued to evolve and provide drinking pleasure for the next 10-15 years.

2021 vintage. A continuation of the Cade HM style. Everything in its right place. Everything in its right place. Light-medium body. That centralized light-saber of pure fruit/tannins balance throughout...so good. One of the few Napa cabs you can absolutely enjoy that doesn't enslave you or your palate to continued heavy wines should you desire to "backtrack" to pinot noir. 10.30.24. — a month ago

Wow. Yes. Tough vintage, cool year with late heat spike pushing ripeness. This 1999 showed the vintage character well, not a powerhouse but well balanced. Gorgeous layers and nuance from black fruited, pencil graphite, savory tobacco. Impeccable balance on palate with melted tannins and well judged acidity. — 6 days ago
