2017 Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Stag’s Leap
Here’s the opener for the lead singer of the Poetry vineyard Cabernet. This wine includes the elegant leftovers from the hillside rocker and is composed from small lots of their best vineyards. The winemaker notes, “Aromas of violets, lavender, blackberry, huckleberry, and warm chocolate covered cherries. Juicy, penetrating, and conveying terrific depth and structure.” We gave this wine a standing ovation and know you will too.

Cliff Lede Vineyards was established in 2002 by Canadian born Bordeaux enthusiast, Cliff Lede, following the acquisition of a sixty acre estate in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. With a focus on producing wines from estate vineyards, Lede tapped David Abreu, considered the best viticulturist in Napa Valley, to replant the vineyards. Lede decided to name each vineyard block after some of his favorite rock songs and albums—from “My Generation” to “Dark Side of the Moon,” creating what is known today as the Cliff Lede Vineyards “Rock Blocks.” In 2005, a state of the art, 25,000 square foot winery and cave system was etched into a hillside overlooking the estate vineyards. Not only did Cliff create a beautiful property, he also assembled an unrivaled team that shares his passion for quality. Today, Winemaker Christopher Tynan crafts Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, with the flagship, Poetry Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the steep eastern hillside portion of the estate. In 2015, Cliff Lede Vineyards achieved both Napa Green Land and Napa Green Winery certification.
