Cliff Lede High Fidelity Red Napa Valley 2016
You’ve heard us GUSH about the superb 2016 vintage here in Napa (and it is truly a special one) and this Cliff Lede bottling is a prime example --- lavishly rich but STRUCTURED, LIFTED and very complex. Cabernet and Merlot hail from Lede’s Twin Peaks vineyard adjacent to the winery in Stags Leap District, and Cabernet Franc coming from none other than David Abreu’s coveted Madrona Ranch Vineyard in St. Helena. High Fidelity is a blend of the best lots from these two cherished sites.
This is only sold at the winery, so it’s quite an honor to have a few cases to offer you. For serious Napa Cab lovers only, this is a real treat and an incredible relative bargain in the world of luxury Napa blends! Here are 100-point winemaker Chris Tynan’s notes. (His resume includes Cain, Blankiet w/Helen Turley and Colgin to name a few): “While there are layers upon layers of black fig, black cherry, and warm plum flavors, there’s also a core of savory grilled steak and black truffle notes that reveal itself with time. A 'bouquet garni' of thyme, bay leaf, and sage lends subtle hints of savory herbs. Ultra fine and precise, the cashmere-like tannins lend the wine an ethereal and exhilaratingly long, polished finish that goes on seemingly forever.”
Super limited, as you might imagine --- $94.95 and free shipping on 3! Available nowhere but here!
