Platinum Wines - Cliff Lede Vineyards

Our three most critically-acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignons are aptly named our Platinum Wines. They consist of Poetry, from our flagship estate vineyard in the Stags Leap District, Songbook, which is sourced from two of renowned viticulturist David Abreu’s personally-farmed estates, and Beckstoffer To Kalon, broadly considered to be Napa Valley’s “first growth” vineyard site.

The only way to secure access to all three of these coveted wines is to join our Platinum Playlist. If you are interested in joining, please inquire about availability.

    2019 Poetry
    Cabernet Sauvignon

    The result of meticulous attention to detail throughout the winemaking process, the fresh and lively 2019 Poetry’s effortless character belies the precision and masterly artistry required to assemble our multi-layered grand vin.

    100 points “The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it sails out of the glass with energetic scents of fresh blackcurrants, black cherries and black raspberries, plus hints of candied violets, dark chocolate, clove oil and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is exquisitely fine-knitted with tons of graceful nuances intertwined with the many shades of black fruits, accented by SO MANY minerals, finishing epically long and staggeringly gorgeous. WOW!” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

    2021 Songbook
    Cabernet Sauvignon

    Beneath the 2021 Songbook’s shy, demure initial impression, simmers a dashing and seductive exilir.

    98 Points “The 2021 SongBook Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges out of the gate with evocative notes of kirsch, redcurrant jelly, blackcurrant pastilles, and rose oil leading to hints of cast-iron pan, crushed rocks, and baker’s chocolate. The medium-bodied palate is chock full of mineral-laced black-red berry layers supported by firm, very finely-grained tannins, and just enough freshness, finishing long and fragrant. 352 cases were made.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

    2019 Beckstoffer To Kalon
    Cabernet Sauvignon

    99 points -“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is more exuberant and sexy, which is to be expected from this Grand Cru vineyard. Sweet cassis, flowery incense, liquid violets, and spicy oak are just some of the nuances here, and this hits the palate with full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and one heck of a great finish.”. – Jeb Dunnuck
