Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Already complex and seamless, Coda shows the quality of the 2020 vintage with notes of rose petal, dark cherry and hints of menthol on the nose. The palate brings these flavors and more – Red Mountain dirt and minerals, more red fruit and a completely beguiling silky, caressing Cabernet Franc texture. The acidity and tannins are present but not intrusive, aiding a long, building finish.

Blend: 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    From the home vineyard, this blend of cabernet franc and merlot feels youthful, with cedary violet scents and juicy plum flavors. The wine feels as if it were infused with a spray of herbs, charming and Loire-like, priced for midweek enjoyment.

    The Cabernet Franc-dominated 2020 Coda bursts from the glass with a vibrant mix of medicinal black cherries, sweet roses and dark chocolate. This is silky in feel with a juicy personality, as pepper-tinged wild berries and exotic spices swirl throughout. The 2020 finishes with notable concentration while maintaining a vibrant feel, as nuances of blood orange and raspberry preserves slowly fade. The Coda, essentially the second wine of Cadence, is a high-energy yet refined blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot that is sure to win a lot of hearts.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

Red Mountain Wine

Yakima Valley, Washington

View all products

A coveted source of top quality red grapes among premier Washington producers, the Red Mountain AVA is actually the smallest appellation in the state. As its name might suggest, it is actually neither a mountain nor is it composed of red earth. Instead the appellation is an anticline of the Yakima fold belt, a series of geologic folds that define a number of viticultural regions in the surrounding area. It is on the eastern edge of Yakima Valley with slopes facing southwest towards the Yakima River, ideal for the ripening of grapes. The area’s springtime proliferation of cheatgrass, which has a reddish color, actually gives the area the name, "Red" Mountain.

Red Mountain produces some of the most mineral-driven, tannic and age-worthy red wines of Washington and there are a few reasons for this. It is just about the hottest appellation with normal growing season temperatures commonly reaching above 90F. The soil is particularly poor in nutrients and has a high pH, which results in significantly smaller berry sizes compared to varietal norms. The low juice to skin ratio in smaller berries combined with the strong, dry summer winds, leads to higher tannin levels in Red Mountain grapes.

The most common red grape varieties here are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, among others. Limited white varieties are grown, namely Sauvignon blanc.

The reds of the area tend to express dark black and blue fruit, deep concentration, complex textures, high levels of tannins and as previously noted, have good aging capabilities.
