Only thing I don’t like is UPS charges an access point fee to drop off five dollars per case I would have it shipped to my apartment but you have to be present to sign for it and UPS is terrible about arranging that

2018 Cliff Lede High Fidelity Red Blend (750ml)

Cabernet Franc from Napa, California

B-21 Top Recommendation

Meticulously crafted to age beautifully over the 20 years, the flagship 100pt 2018 Cliff Lede Poetry is a stunner, a perfect Bordeaux-style blend with nearly 90% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stags Leap AVA offering fresh black fruit layered with ripe tannins and a never-ending finish, named a Cellar Selection by the Wine Enthusiast offered at best on the market pricing.

Perched on a hill overlooking the breathtaking, rugged landscape of Napa's renowned Stags Leap District, the stunning Cliff Lede Winery reflects its founder's background in high-end construction, its state-of-the-art cellars boasting custom crafted tanks inspired by Chateau Latour. After purchasing 60 acres in the northeast corner of the AVA in 2002, owner Cliff Lede (pronounced "lay-dee") acquired the Poetry Vineyard a year later, replanting the steep rocky parcel stretching from Stags Leap's highest elevations down to the Silverado Trail with Bordeaux varietals under the direction of famed vineyard manager David Abreu. Formerly part of the legendary Colgin winemaking team that produced seven 100pt Parker wines over five years, winemaker Christopher Tynan has driven Poetry's stratospheric rise in quality since taking the reins at Cliff Lede in 2012, placing it among Napa's elite Cabs with 95+ point ratings year over year including three 100pt scores in top vintages like 2018. After overseeing the hand picking of grapes at night to preserve freshness and employing rigorous selection, Tynan aged each parcel for the 2018 Poetry separately for 21 months in 82% new French oak barrels, yielding elegant, concentrated fruit with mineral-driven acidity in a final Cab-dominated blend that critic Jeb Dunnuck describes as "pure class."

From an exceptional Napa vintage that the Wine Spectator's James Molesworth declares "sets a new bar," the 2018 Cliff Lede Poetry is a "rich and unctuous" Napa Cab described by Vinous critic Antonio Galloni simply as "brilliant!" – a worthy addition to the cellar for Napa Cab collectors.

A blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2018 High Fidelity Red Blend has a medium to deep garnet-purple color, opening with seductive notes of redcurrant jelly, blackberry coulis, black raspberries and spice cake followed by nuances of red roses, cedar chest and pencil lead with a waft of underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate quivers with compelling energy, framed by finely grained tannins and bags of freshness, finishing with loads of red fruit and perfumed layers.

94 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate (Nov 2020)

Lots of red and black fruits, spring flowers, candied orange, and violet notes emerge from the 2018 Red Blend High Fidelity. Another beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, elegant wine in this lineup, it offers nicely integrated acidity, present yet ripe tannins, and a great mid-palate. It’s already hard to resist, yet I see no reason why it wouldn’t continue to drink well for another 10-15 years. The blend is 50% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Petit Verdot.

94 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Jan 2021)

This is a hugely concentrated and powerful blend of 50% Cabernet Franc with 25% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. Fresh and dried tobacco leaf, tomato and black pepper season a richness of plum and cassis, inspired by Bordeaux's Right Bank. Enjoy best from 2028 through 2035.

94 points, Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast (Jul 2021)

The 2018 High Fidelity is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Bright floral aromatics lend vibrancy to a core of sweet red berry fruit. Mocha, spice, rose petal, mint and blood orange develop over time, adding layers of complexity. The move to increasingly emphasize Franc in this blend has worked so well. This is a fabulous entry-level offering from Cliff Lede.
