Item Description

Established in 2002, Cliff Lede Vineyards encompasses sixty acres in the famed Stags Leap District. Founder Cliff Lede, Vineyard Architect David Abreu, and Winemaker Chris Tynan have come together to form an unrivaled team, making the most of this remarkable property. This magnum (1.5L) of the inky black Cliff Lede 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District is a lithe and tempting elixir that dazzles the senses. Even in its youth, it displays a fully integrated nose of fresh red and black currents, wild blackberries, and a perfumed bouquet of violets and lavender. Spice notes of smoked cardamom, anise, and cumin dance among the fig paste and Luxardo cherry flavors. The opulent finish crescendos in a wave of supple tannin, which nimbly glides along the palate and draws the taster back for another joyful sip.

Then, use your Backstage pass for access to Cliff Lede's limited production wines with a Reserved Backstage Tasting Experience for four guests. Backstage is the winery's reserve tasting lounge, accessible only with a reservation. Relax and enjoy this cool and comfortable lounge, featuring rotating art exhibits and, of course, classic rock music. During this semi-private, seated experience, you'lll taste highly sought after and/or library wines from Cliff Lede and FEL, not usually available for tasting (or even purchase) in the public Tasting Room.
