Product Description
Established in 2002, Cliff Lede Vineyards encompasses sixty acres in the famed Stags Leap District. Owner Cliff Lede, Vineyard Architect David Abreu and Winemaker Chris Tynan have come together to form an unrivalled team, making the most of this remarkable property. Completed in 2005, the gravity-flow winery boasts a berry-by-berry sorting system and conical tanks commissioned using a design inspired by the tanks of Château Latour. One tank per vineyard block ensures each lot evolves at its own pace and acres of caves with single-layer barrel storage ensure access to each barrel at all times. No corner has been cut. The winery produces Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The flagship, Poetry Cabernet Sauvignon, is crafted from the steep hillside portion of the estate. The land, the talent, the tools and the passion: Cliff Lede Vineyards, a notable addition to the Stags Leap District. For Lede, teamwork is a differentiator; it’s what sets Lede Family Wines apart from every other in the Napa Valley. Considering his passions, the mission was clear: to take Bordeaux varietals in Napa Valley to a whole new level. Naturally, it’s also a source of great pride.
A complex wine loaded with aromas of dark fruit and toasted spices. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and pomegranate combine with hints of cola, clove, and licorice bark. The mouth is loaded with rich flavors of cherry and has a very rich mouth feel.
