Cliff Lede Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

So silky and drinkable at the first sip, this well-concentrated wine feels tight and restrained with more tastes, holding its trove of black fruits, cedar, cinnamon and dark chocolate in a rich blanket of extra-fine tannins. Its complexity, layering and lingering finish are something special. [Drink into the mid-2030s.] Score – 94. (Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2024)
