Fantastic new release of Cliff Lede's exclusive Poetry Cabernet. Very Limited.
98 Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The result of meticulous attention to detail throughout the winemaking process, the fresh and lively Cliff Lede 2021 Poetry’s effortless character belies the precision and masterly artistry required to assemble our multi-layered grand vin. This captivating elixir greets the taster with a bouquet of fresh cut flowers, crushed red currant, and summer Morello cherry aromas. Nestled amongst these scents are red and black licorice, clove, and bergamot. Next, there is a rush of melted dark chocolate, shortbread, blackberry, and plum flavors along the palate. Sea salt, aged beef, and loamy black truffle elements add layers of savoriness to the long and tantalizing finish."
95 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Cassis, graphite, crushed stone, violets, and purple flowers all soar from the Cliff Lede 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry. Medium to full-bodied and nicely concentrated, it shows an elegant, Saint-Julien-like style with fine tannins and beautiful balance. Complex notes of leather and potpourri add nuance to this pure, gorgeous wine that will evolve for 12-15 years."
Winemaker Notes: The captivating Cliff Lede Poetry is an ode to symmetry and precision. This is the highest expression of our Stags Leap District estate vineyard and all of its irresistible components are well apportioned and fabulously integrated even at such at young age. Dense and brooding on opening, with time liquefied rocks, warm plum, black licorice, bay leaf, and sage soar from the first glass. Equal parts black currant and summer fig flavors coalesce on the expansive entry, while smoked cardamom and lavender aromas saturate the olfactory in a glorious cornucopia of ambrosial harmony. The voluptuous palate finishes with a wave of ultrafine tannins that unites for a seamless finale of gorgeous violet perfume.
