Tropical but super fresh and juicy AF. Lean and elegant and a little saline—literally mouth-watering. Wonderfully textured. — 6 months ago

Lovely balanced Napa cab but needs much more aging. Opened up after an hour but alas most was enjoyed by then 😀 — 3 years ago

A real pleasure to drink. 2007 is in a great window of cellar age. Still showing loads of black fruit, cassis, dark chocolate. Some minty freshness and eucalyptus. Very soft, plush palate. — 5 months ago

Last night we opened the 2019 Cliff Lede Napa Valley Claret Bordeaux Blend. Twin Peaks Vineyard Yountville, California. A blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

On the nose the is black cherry, blackberry, fig, black currant, cassis, vegital notes, vanilla and dark soil.

On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black plum, lack currant, bell pepper, chocolate covered cherry and gravel.

This wine is full bodied with a velvety mouthfeel medium to medium + acidity and medium to medium + soft smooth fine tannins that move seamlessly into a long black fruit pencil lead finish. Looks to be a great weekend. Please stay safe and be healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 6 months ago

Juicy, authentic and refreshing so fruitful with passion fruit 🍊 and citrus tangerine, grassy yet the sweet fruity brings the layer with its long finishings of fresh fruit and summery vibe
