Wine: 2011 Cade Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain
Obtained from: Purchased at winery
Price: $80
Wino4Life Category: Splurge Wine
Aeration before tasting: Decanted for 4 hours.
Cork Condition: Natural cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: Clear, purple in color.
Aroma: Lots of fruit, some herbal notes, and darker coffee or smoky elements as well.
Taste: Great tannins to hold up to a steak, nice acidity, well balanced.
The Grade: I give this one an A. Enough tannins to age a few more years, but after decanting was definitely ready to drink. Very Napa in style, no complaints here. I would put this up against many more expensive Napa Cabs and I think it would hold up quite well. I wonder how it would be taste with a Kale salad? I hope another steak shows up before I have to find out! Cheers!!!
