Cade 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $26
A new brand from the PlumpJack folks, and a very promising start. It brings Sancerre-like sophistication and polish to a variety that’s usually not very elegant. With crisp acidity and a mineral backbone, the wine’s flavors are of citrus fruits, figs and vanilla, with a hint of tart gooseberry. The winery is set to release a pair of Cabs in the next few years.

Cade 2006 Napa Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $60
Very finely structured, with gorgeously ripe tannins that show the astringency of youth. They frame the lush flavors of blackberries, cassis, chocolate, violets, anise and smoky cedar in this Bordeaux blend. Best now, for its youthful opulence.

Cade 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
A lovely Sauvignon Blanc that shows classic Napa balance, with a savory crispness that invites pairing with goat cheese, grilled veggies or roasted halibut. Dry and tart, it’s rich in pineapple juice, pink grapefruit, fig, green melon, honeysuckle, vanilla and pepper flavors.

Cade 2008 Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Firm tannins mark this young Cabernet, as well as a dense girding of minerals. Together with the dryness, these make it fairly austere. But a molten core of spicy blackberry flavor bodes well for the future. Cellar until at least 2018.

This has flavors of raspberry and cherry pie that are liberally enhanced with toasty, creamy oak. It’s structure of tannins and acids is classy and easy to like.

Cade 2007 Napa Cuvee Red (Napa Valley)
- $60
Made in a big, rich, ripe style dripping with berry-cherry, plumped raisin, plum, mocha and cola flavors, accented with lots of sweet oak. The tannins are a bit fierce now, but should settle down by 2012 or so. Grape sourcing was from Rutherford, Oak Knoll, Calistoga and St. Helena.
