2024
CADE Estate Sauvignon Blanc,
Oakville
“The 2024 CADE Estate Sauvignon Blanc has beautiful, bright acidity, a touch of minerality, and a long, lingering finish. The palate finishes with flavors of toasted almond, tangerine, ruby red grapefruit, graham cracker, and orange blossoms. The Sauvignon Musqué clone really shows its floral side in this wine, and the Viognier adds great texture and length. The splash of Sémillon adds some acidity and notes of Mexican lime.” — Winemaker Danielle Cyrot

The 2024 CADE Estate Sauvignon Blanc is from our sister property, PlumpJack Estate, in Oakville. The fruit was harvested from August 21 to September 4, which was a return to normal compared to the 2023 vintage. The fruit from this vineyard is the best Sauvignon Blanc that we work with. It has the most intense flavors and aromas and expresses the best of the varietal, which is why we bottle a small production of this wine. The grapes grow on some of the heaviest soils on the property, but that doesn't stop the vines from producing flavorful grapes. The Viognier and Sémillon were planted to spice up the blend, if you will. And boy does it!
