08’ Cliff Lede Poetry. These wines are among some of the most inviting wines on the nose. Blackberry fruit, raspberry sorbet, allspice, cinnamon, etc...
Palate - Blackberry, plum, Cassis, slight herbal notes. The fruit pushes more towards the front. It’s truly a beauty that’s come to full maturity now. Drink them up.

Lighter than I expected, this medium bodied wine went down easy. Long-leaf tobacco and chocolate provide a sweet undercurrent but this is not a fruit bomb - everything is in balance. A very classy wine.

Very nice Cabernet. Lovely fruit and just beginning to show some secondary development.

More elegant profile than I anticipated but a touch over oaked. Over nice glass of vino.
