Cadence Winery
Cadence is dedicated to showcasing the finest vineyard sites in Washington State. We feel this is best accomplished by blending individual lots of wines made from the varietals grown on the vineyard site. Blending allows us to create a balanced wine of greater character than the individual components. Our wines express the power, intensity or elegance of the vineyard only as those qualities are already present in the vineyard. In this way our Bordeaux-styled blends become our interpretation of the best qualities reflected in Washington’s greatest vineyard terroir.

Initially reticent, Bel Canto blossoms into a perfumed potpourri of baking spice, black fruit and intense minerality. It has the roundest mouthfeel and ... more

Probably the most unusual bend we’ve ever assembled for Ciel, but all to outstanding effect. This vintage is as dark, brooding, and structured as any Ciel to date. The nose shows deep layers of dark fruit and spice. The palate is atypically big for Ciel, with waves of black cherry, ... more

The 2009 vintage was a little like 2007, warm but not hot with a stunning September to finish up ripening. We picked in time to preserve an absolutely juicy acidity and plump berry ripeness. Coda fairly bursts with lip-smacking berry goodness. Plums, blueberries and a touch ofRedMountainspice lead the aromatic ... more
