Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2021 is a distinguished red wine from Napa Valley, California, crafted by Cliff Lede Vineyards. This wine exemplifies the rich and concentrated character typical of the Oakville appellation. Vineyard and Terroir: Location: Sourced from an exceptional vineyard on the southeast border of Oakville. Soil: Extremely rocky soils composed largely of stones weathered by Rector Creek over millennia. Viticulture: The poor, stony soils restrict vine vigor, resulting in small berries with incredible concentration. Winemaking Process: Harvesting: Hand-harvested in the cool early morning hours to preserve freshness. Sorting: Rigorous three-tiered sorting process, including cutting-edge optical sorting, to ensure only perfect berries are selected. Fermentation: Cold soaks lasted approximately five days, with fermentations managed by a combination of délestage and pump-overs. Maceration: Extended maceration ranging from three to four weeks to fine-tune tannin profiles and build structure. Aging: Aged in French oak barrels, 68% new, for twenty-one months. Tasting Notes: Appearance: Deep ruby color. Aroma: Layers of blackberry, jammy blackcurrants, and warm summer mulberries, accented by cumin, smoked paprika, and hints of red and black licorice. Palate: Rich and dense with sweet, creamy tannins leading to a focused and intense finish, culminating in a long and seamless experience. Serving Suggestions: Temperature: Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Decanting: Decant for about an hour before serving to allow the wine to open up and reveal its full complexity. Food Pairings: Complements well with grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses.
