  Consistent with other reviews. Grapefruit, un-ripe apple or peaches. Some bite on the backside, pepper.

  We drove up Howell Mountain to get to Cade two Sundays ago. What we witnessed was a horror show of fire damage. It’s hard to see nature destroyed in such a fashion. What was worse were all the brick chimneys only standing where there were once a home or a winery building.
  
  Glass fire note. The fire investigation revealed the fire was started by a Cakebread electric fence short. An additional saddening note is Dolores Cakebread, the co-founder of Cakebread Cellars died shortly after the Glass Fire started. She was 90. No way to know if the stress of the fire factored into her passing.
  
  We started with two Sauvignon Blancs. I enjoyed this one more than than the 2019. It simply has had a year longer in bottle to round out.
  
  The 2018 proved to be a classic Napa Sauvignon Blanc. The 2018 was thick, nicely round and good viscosity. Tropical in style. Lots of melons, pineapple, white stone fruits, lighter citruses, beautiful, soft mid minerality with very good acidity and well balanced & polished finish.

  Crisp and light and quite refreshing. Notes of lemon zest, grapefruit and light peach. Ideal wine for a Santa Ana night in San Diego with some fantastic sushi from Full Moon.

  This is an awesome wine. Crisp with aromatic notes of pineapple and light (not overwhelming) citrus (lemon, grapefruit). It is light and crisp with a slight creamy (texture) finish. Perfect for summer sipping.
