Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Blended with 13% Merlot and smaller amounts of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, this is a focused and youthfully grippy wine, showing a fervor of succulent red- and black-currant and licorice. Thick, rich and intensely structured, it possesses a mineral-like earthiness of crushed rock and enduring structure. Score – 95. (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, July 1, 2021)
