Jack Bittner From Cliff Lede
We had Jack Bittner of Cliff Lede come in and taste us on his lineup; I was very impressed with these wines.
2008 Cliff Lede Sauvignon Blanc – Pineapple and grapefruit with tropical fruits and wild white flowers on the nose. A classis Sauvignon Blanc with great minerality and crisp acidity. The palate was complex with green apple peel, peach fuzz, concrete, and crushed flowers.
2006 Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon – Cocoa bean and dried leather on the nose with dried cracked cigar leaf and clove. The palate was very nice with cinnamon, wood spice and a medley of dark fruits. Well balanced and plush with a long lasting finish.
2006 Poetry –
Black pepper and fruit on the nose.
With tobacco and earth on the back.
Jammy strawberry, silk that flows.
Balance and complexity: this is no hack.
Wow, this wine is great.
Elegance, feminine charm and beauty.
The next sip just cannot wait.
This wine is nothing less than poetry.
