Also all from the estate on Howell Mountain, the just about perfect 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon 13th Vineyard (there's 4% Malbec in the blend) is another monster of a Cabernet that has textbook mountain fruit notes of black and blue fruits intermixed with crushed stone, pine forest, white chocolate, and spice. Deep, full-bodied, and powerful, it's incredibly concentrated on the palate, yet like all great wines, stays pure, precise, and weightless. This is another magical wine from a difficult vintage that shows the talent of this team as well as the quality of the terroir. Bravo!

Blended with 4% Malbec, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon 13th Vineyard offers up intense licorice, chocolate box and menthol scents with a crème de cassis and preserved plums core plus wafts of tea, smoked meats and candied violets. Full-bodied and laden with black fruit, it has firm, ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, with a very long, layered finish. (LPB) 97+

Cade's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon 13th Vineyard is inky, powerful and super tannic in the early going. Notes of black cherry, blackberry jam, chocolate, licorice and spice endow this brooding Howell Mountain Cabernet with huge power and explosiveness matched by massive tannins that make the wine a bit hard to read today. Bright Howell Mountain acids add to a feeling of searing intensity. I can't wait to taste this with a few years in bottle. (AG) 93+

Nicely saturated in feel, with waves of cassis, crushed plum and steeped blackberry fruit flavors wrapped in ribbons of black licorice and sweet tobacco. The grippy, energetic finish will need some time to unwind. Rock solid. (JM)
