| Description: | Napa Valley\r\nWinemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThis 2022 Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of green apple, green melon, guava, floral, honeydew melon, lemon, pineapple, ripe pear, and yuzu. In the palate are flavors of lemon curd, key lime pie, grapefruit, lemon zest, and citrus. The wine is bright, fresh, and has a great vibrant acidity on the finish. The addition of the Oso Vineyard has brought out a lot of lemon, apple, and pear flavors which they feel is a great addition to this wine. The 2022 vintage was the largest production of Cade Sauvignon Blanc that they have ever made due to the acquisition of the Oso vineyard. The addition of S\u00e9millon adds some kiwi notes along with a bit of minerality to the wine. The touch of Viognier used adds some textural viscosity to the palate as well as some floral notes in the nose.\r\nAbout Cade\r\nWith a shared vision, Gavin Newsom, Gordon Getty and John Conover imagined the addition of a complementary estate vineyard to the valley floor terroir of their Oakville estate at PlumpJack Estate Winery. In 2005, that dream came to fruition in the form of a 54-acre estate, elevated high above the fog line, on the dramatic slopes of Howell Mountain \u2013 it would become Cade Estate Winery.\r\nGiven the opportunity to build the winery from the ground up, Newsom, Getty and Conover were committed to constructing a state-of-the-art winery that would pay tribute to the land, both aesthetically and ecologically. This commitment would go above and beyond the standard benchmark of environmental responsibility, especially in the world of wine. The end goal, to construct the first Ccof (California Certified Organic Farmers) organically farmed, Leed (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certified Estate Winery in the Napa Valley.\r\nAs an homage to our first winery, the caves at Cade Estate were designed in the shape of the PlumpJack shield. Cade Estate, similar to PlumpJack, also takes its name from Shakespeare, who used the term to refer to the wine casks\u2013 or cades\u2013 shipped from Bordeaux to England during Elizabethan times.\r\nThe Cade Estate logo can also trace its inception to the property, where a particular Manzanita tree, rooted in front of the winery building, gave birth to the red tree symbol, both in shape and color. In fact, the path towards the winery is intentionally carved around this special tree, in order to preserve the interplay between natural and architectural spaces. |
