Poetry Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
Cliff Lede Cabernet Poetry Stags Leap District 2017.
Poetry Vineyard is steep and at a high-elevation for the appellation. The wine opens in tones of tar, tobacco and brooding black currant, with highlights of cedar, lavender and sage. It’s powerfully built and concentrated, showing the structure to last in the cellar.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry, Lede’s top wine, emerges from the oldest vines on the property and some of the upper blocks, where the soils are very rocky. Deep and ample on the palate, the 2017 possesses off-the-charts richness and tons of character.
98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Outer quote mark Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry gives up crème de cassis, baked plums, blueberry compote, chocolate box, earth and aniseed scents on the nose with wafts of cedar chest and pencil lead. Full-bodied, firm and grainy, it is concentrated, very classy and multilayered with great energy and a long finish.
