Cliff Lede Poetry 2019

Cliff Lede Poetry 2019, a masterpiece from the prestigious Lede Family Wines collection, is a testament to the dedication and finesse of winemaker Christopher Tynan. This multi-layered grand vin, part of the acclaimed Cliff Lede portfolio including Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon and Cliff Lede Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon, embodies precision and artistry. The captivating wine unveils a deep garnet-purple color, heralding a sensory journey of opulence.

Upon the first swirl, enchanting notes of fresh cut flowers, crushed red currants, and summer Morello cherries emerge from this Cliff Lede Wine, interlaced with hints of red and black licorice, clove, and bergamot. The palate experiences an exhilarating rush of flavors, including melted dark chocolate, akin to the richness found in Cliff Lede Cabernet, luscious shortbread, and succulent blackberries, complemented by the plum richness synonymous with Cliff Lede Claret.

Delicate nuances of sea salt, aged beef, and earthy black truffle in Cliff Lede Poetry 2019 contribute to an enduring and tantalizing finish, resonating with elegance and complexity akin to the Cliff Lede Beckstoffer To Kalon. Earning a perfect 100 points from Wine Advocate, this Poetry blend, consisting of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the remaining parts shared by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, typical of a Cliff Lede Cab, exudes energetic scents of black fruits and nuances of dark chocolate.

Jeb Dunnuck lauds its refined, full-bodied, and polished style, emphasizing its potential for graceful evolution over 20+ years, similar to the aging potential of Cliff Lede Chardonnay and Cliff Lede Fel Pinot Noir. Clifford Lede’s Cliff Lede Poetry 2019 stands as a testament to the vineyard’s commitment to crafting wines that epitomize excellence and refinement.
