Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry 2007
The Winery
Cliff Lede
Since founding his namesake winery in 2002, Cliff Lede has taken full advantage of his sixty acre estate in the Stags Leap District of the Napa Valley, which was replanted with the assistance of famed viticulturist David Abreu. The estate is composed of two vineyards- the Poetry vineyard and the Twin Peaks vineyard, and each are divided into blocks named after some of Lede’s favorite rock songs and albums which led to the nickname the ‘Rock Blocks.’
By the time the winery was completed in 2005, Lede perfected his winemaking techniques for his famed Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and other Bordeaux Blends. The state-of-the-art winery combines timeless methods combined with innovative technology to make famous wines like his 2013 Poetry Cabernet Sauvignon which received 100 points from Robert Parker, and we are thrilled to offer you a variety of vintages from this illustrious producer.
Summary
The Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry 2007 (1.5L) is a flagship wine from Napa's Stags Leap District, showcasing the essence of a benchmark vintage. This wine is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon (86%), crafted from the terraced Poetry Vineyard, known for its elegance and power. It presents a vibrant ruby-red color with aromas of sweet black raspberry, violet, and rose petals, enriched by notes of chocolate, cedar, and earth. The palate is full-bodied, with plush, fine-grained tannins and a long, intense finish featuring hints of mocha and spices. This collectible magnum format allows for slower aging, enhancing its complexity and depth over time.
Tasting Notes
- WA96
- The quintessential expression of an elegant Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry (86% Cabernet Sauvignon) combines elegance with power. Layered and full-bodied with an ethereal lightness as well as touches of oak and tannin,…
- V94
- Bright ruby-red. Sweet black raspberry, violet and rose petal aromas are complemented by deeper-pitched notes of chocolate and earth plus a sexy sweetening influence of oak. Plush, thick and fine-grained but not heavy; a compellingly dense, full wine with clear elements of Stags Leap District earth, mocha and brown spices. A wonderfully opulent, compellingly sweet wine with a long finish featuring big, ripe, dusty tannins and excellent length. This wine will yet improve and gain in clarity as it absorbs more of its baby fat.
