"The second of three (2007-2009) consecutive wonderful vintages the 2008 Cade Cuvee is a worthy successor to the 2007. The inclusion of 7% Malbec gives the wine a juiciness and fruit forwardness. Aromas of black cherry, plums and milk chocolate are followed on the palate with flavors of cocoa, blackberries and warm cherry pie filling. Much more approachable upon release than the 2007, there is a sense of balance that will allow the wine to age gracefully for the next 3-5 years." - Winemaker's Notes
