The Cliff Lede Rock Block Scarlet Love 2014 is a distinctive and alluring Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District, crafted to highlight the unique terroir of the estate’s rockiest vineyard blocks. This 2014 vintage, born from a year of exceptional ripeness, displays a vibrant ruby hue and an aromatic profile of ripe raspberry, black cherry, and rose petals, with undertones of graphite and spice adding depth. The palate is lush and concentrated, with polished tannins and bright acidity supporting flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and a touch of minerality. The wine’s bold yet refined character reflects Cliff Lede’s innovative approach to winemaking, with meticulous vineyard management and careful oak integration. Sourced from low-yield vines, the Scarlet Love is a standout for its intensity and elegance, finishing with lingering notes of spice and earth. Perfect for pairing with braised lamb or a rich vegetarian dish, this wine is both approachable now and poised for graceful aging over the next 15 years, embodying Napa’s artistry.
