Cadence’s value offering, the 2007 Coda, is a second label made from fruit declassified from the vineyard designated wines. It is a blend of 57% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 12% Petit Verdot aged for 14 months in 40% new French oak. It has an alluring bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, violets, incense, and black currant. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, sweetly-fruited wine with savory flavors, a smooth texture, and well-integrated oak. This balanced, intense effort will continue to blossom for another 2-3 years and deliver prime drinking from 2011 to 2019.
The Cadence winery is located in the South Park region of Seattle. It is owned and operated by husband and wife team Ben Smith and Gaye McNutt. All of their wines are sourced from Red Mountain fruit selected from several of the most prestigious vineyards. Casa Mia is their estate vineyard planted in 2004. The wines are all blends of the Bordeaux varieties. Current production stands at 2300 cases.
