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! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
