Cadence is dedicated to showcasing the finest vineyard sites in Washington State. Our Bordeaux-styled blends are our interpretation of the best qualities reflected in Washington’s greatest vineyard terroir. We believe blending creates a balanced wine of greater character than the individual components. Our wines express the power, intensity or elegance of the vineyard reflected in the characteristics of the varietals on the vineyard site.

Spring Release on Saturday, May 8, 2010

We release Coda 2008 and Coda Rosé 2009 on Mother’s Day weekend. Pick up a festive bottle to honor the mothers in your life! Summer is just around the corner, and this is your chance to stash away a few bottles of our Rosé, just about the perfect refreshing summer wine. Last year the Rosé sold out at the open house so be forewarned!  Peruse our spring newsletter to read tasting notes and find answers to 10 questions about Cadence that you’ve been dying to know.  The newsletter is here and the order form is here.

We’re proud to sponsor two classical music groups, The American String Project in May and The Olympic Music Festival this summer.  Our news and events page has more details.

The British are enchanted with Washington State Wines (and for good reason, we might add!)  Last fall, Hugh Johnson’s World of Fine Wine (Issue 25) ran a fabulous article on Cadence. We are again featured in the current issue (Issue 27), in an article on The Promised State.   David Williams provides a well-researched overview and history of the extraordinary rise of winemaking in Washington. Read the full article here.  Look for yet another issue including Cadence (Issue 28) discussing the unique geology of Red Mountain.

And last but not least, the effervescent Tim Robinson of King 5 asks Ben to peer into his crystal ball and predict the effects of El Niño on the 2010 grape harvest. Watch the interview here.

The International Wine Cellar reviews Cadence Vintage 2007

Stephen Tanzer loves our new releases.  He provides a complete set of reviews in the Nov/Dec 2009 issue of  The International Wine Cellar.   Here are a few excerpts:

94 pts Bel Canto 2007  “There are any number of powerhouse Bordeaux blends being made in Washington today, but very few wines with this degree of class.”

93+ pts Ciel du Cheval 2007  “A sexy and refined wine . . . that leaves the taste buds vibrating.”

93 pts Tapteil 2007  ”Finishes pliant, broad and long, with very suave but serious tannins and impressive energy.”

Tanzer sums up the vintage: “The Cadence wines have gained in richness and fullness in the past few vintages without any loss of balance or freshness.”
