From the Stags Leap District, Cliff Lede 2019 is a dry, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-driven red wine blend with splashes of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot added to the mix. Generous with ripe dark fruits, plum, crushed raspberry, chocolate and smoky flavours, the wine is very approachable now. Tannins are polished. Drink or hold. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
