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.

    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

Black fruit is brooding in intensity. A great layer of tension adds texture and complexity, weaving within a level of freshness that is compelling and refreshing in such a complex, well-built and structured wine.” – Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast

    97 Points “The 2019 Songbook Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts with fresh red and black currants, ripe juicy plums and mulberries, plus hints of cedar and cigars with a waft of eucalyptus. Medium to full-bodied, refreshing and intense, it has ripe, grainy tannins and a bright, energetic finish.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

    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
