Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2012 Cade "Reserve" Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (98RP, 97JD, (94-96VN), 95WS). Wine Advocate: "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve comes in a unique bottle that is similar to the special bottle used by Joseph Phelps for their Insignia (which reminds me of a grenade). A blockbuster superstar, this inky/purple-hued 2012 is filled with crème de cassis, blueberry and mulberry fruit that hides any notion of its oak aging. Opulent, voluptuously textured, multilayered and stunningly rich with a finish that lasts 45+ seconds, this magnificent Cabernet should age effortlessly for two decades or more. But who can wait that long? Not me. (RP)" (10/2014)

Included in this lot · 3 bottles

Provenance: Purchased from reputable sources and stored in the temperature controlled wine cellar of a Los Angeles based collector and repeat consignor with K&L Auctions.

Moving to the reserve releases, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve offers more black fruits as well as powerful notes of iron, sagebrush, and flowers. It’s not massive but has full-bodied richness, an elegant, seamless mouthfeel, and a good sense of freshness. It’s still a substantially bigger, richer wine than the classic cuvée and has the textbook 2012 sexiness that makes the vintage so compelling. It needs air if drinking any time soon and easily has another 15 years of prime drinking.
