Cliff Lede Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA

2022 vintage. A btg deal afoot to bring the pricing down. Problem is, there's nary a trace of tannins to buttress oxidation. Light-medium body. Relatively pleasant conversation had now but in a few years? Waiting for the 2023 vintage. Can't be alone in that assessment. 7.22.26.

2021 vintage. Last tasted 6.20.24 (9.2). Improvement. Better depth of tasting field and in a sweet spot for Napa Cab in terms of delivery for the pricing. For the price, hard to beat. 8.30.25.

2021 vintage. Apparently, this wine effectively replaces the “Stags Leap District” cab in the marketplace. The 2019 SLD cab is already drinking beautifully. This 2021 is showing nicely now but not nearly as much depth as the 2019 SLD. Def worth reappraising in a few years tho. 6.20.24.
