Cliff Lede Vineyards
Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
Blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit, floral and slight spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with floral spice, warm integrated vanilla oak and earthy cinnamon. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, vanilla oak and soft earthy notes, nice now, will still develop. A nice fillet mignon with Cabernet gravy will go well.

Jul 7th, 20242019 vintage. Beautiful stuff with medium body, stuffing and plenty of gifts. Very well-made and worth seeking out for the price. The 2018 was striking as well. 4.3.24.
