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. The wine has gorgeous purity, full bodied flavors, elegance, and finesse. Like great cuisine, it offer tremendous intensity of flavor without any sense of heaviness
