Poetry Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon

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.

Thanks Martin Scott :)

Poetry '08 drinking beautifully. Pretty graceful and moody stuff - cliff lede vineyards' best.

Beautifully balanced wine. Amazing fruit with silky smooth tannins. Bravo!

The 2009 was the best of the three 2008 2009 2010 but they were all most excellent

So gorgeous!

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.

Pretty nice.

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