Cliff Lede'Rhythm' Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

The Rhythm Vineyard is the newest single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Cliff Lede. Located on the subtle slopes of their Stags Leap District estate, it is defined by two large hills at its southern border and reaches west toward the Napa River. The Rhythm Vineyard’s soil is composed of gravelly loam of varying depths and rock content. The incredibly diverse soil profile enables winemaker Christopher Tynan and his team to farm several small blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon and additional Bordeaux varieties with unique combinations of clonal selections and rootstocks.

The inaugural vintage of Rhythm couldn’t have come in a better vintage to flaunt the greatness of the Stags Leap District. "Dark purple with vermillion-tinged edges, the plush and refreshing lures the taster with a multidimensional perfume that fills the glass with notes of jasmine, lavender, and spring flowers. Interwoven into the floral notes are unctuous layers of plum, blackberry, and black currants. Loads of smoked cardamom, cinnamon, and black licorice melt on the palate where vibrant acidity carries the long finish to a state of balance and equilibrium." – Christopher Tynan, Director of Winemaking.
