Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry - 2006 (750ml) Size:750ml blackberry and black currant jamEven better is the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry. A 969 case blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest equal parts Merlot and Petit Verdot, this wine has sweet tannins, a big, rich kiss of blackberry and creme de cassis interwoven with subtle smoke, graphite, and loamy soil undertones.
