Here’s the fun twist—Cliff Lede Vineyards is a unique mix of fine wine, music vibes, and creativity. Cliff Lede, the founder, is a rock music lover, and he made sure his vineyard reflects that passion. Each vineyard block has its name inspired by classic rock songs, from “My Generation” to “Dark Side of the Moon,” It’s called the Rock Blocks Series.

Now, meet Christopher Tynan, the mastermind winemaker behind this vintage.

With his sharp eye for detail and passion for keeping things simple yet extraordinary, Chris brings out the very best from each grape.

His style? Low intervention. Minimal fuss. Maximum personality. This is a guy who knows how to let the land—and the vines—tell the story.

2021 is looking to be one of the vintages of the decade. Vinous Media blessed this year with a 95-98 point score, and said: "Two thousand twenty-one is a fabulous vintage in Napa Valley. That’s the good news. The not so good news is that production is down sharply, 30-50% in many cases. The wines have tremendous energy as well as finesse. In tasting, the 2021s show some of the savory intensity of other drought vintages – 2013 and 2014 come to mind – but with more aromatic explosiveness and greater inner sweetness."

Aging: 21 months in French oak barrels (48% new)

86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of warm dark chocolate and black cherry, followed by notes of graphite, crushed mulberries, chocolate cake, and iron. On the palate, layers of cassis, blackberry, and blueberry unfold, accented by jasmine and violets. Its polished, cashmere-like tannins create a luxurious finish that invites another sip.

So silky and drinkable at the first sip, this well-concentrated wine feels tight and restrained with more tastes, holding its trove of black fruits, cedar, cinnamon and dark chocolate in a rich blanket of extra-fine tannins. Its complexity, layering and lingering finish are something special. ~94 Wine Enthusiast
