2025
CADE Sauvignon Blanc,
Napa Valley
The 2025 has aromas of pear, green apple, crushed white flowers, grapefruit, lemon, lime zest, lemongrass, and mandarin orange. On the palate are flavors of lemon méringue pie, citrus, honeysuckle, melon, and ruby red grapefruit. The wine has a complex, lengthy texture, followed by a beautiful, bright acidity on the finish. The addition of Viognier and Sauvignon Musqué adds a lot of the honeysuckle and floral notes. The concrete eggs and barrel ferments add a creamy texture, giving the wine more complexity and length while still maintaining great freshness and vibrancy.

In 2025, 47% of the fruit came from our estate vineyards: 12% from PlumpJack in Oakville, 15% from 13th Vineyard on Howell Mountain, and 17% from Oso Vineyard in Pope Valley. We also worked with four other properties: Stanley Vineyard in Oak Knoll (21%), Berggruen in St. Helena (15%), Frediani Vineyard in Calistoga (8%), and Heitz Vineyard in Oak Knoll (8%). The 2025 growing season was on the cooler side for most of Napa Valley. With a handful of days above 95°F, a larger-than-average crop, and one of the coolest summers in recent memory, it is a notable oddball vintage. Harvest arrived at about normal, with the first pick coming out of Oso Vineyard in Pope Valley and the last pick from our 13th Vineyard estate on Howell Mountain.
