Cliff Lede Vineyards was established in 2002 by Canadian born Bordeaux enthusiast, Cliff Lede, following the acquisition of a sixty acre estate in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. With a focus on producing wines from estate vineyards, Lede tapped David Abreu, considered the best viticulturist in Napa Valley, to replant the vineyards. Each vineyard block is named after his favorite rock songs and albums. In 2005, a state of the art winery and cave system was etched into a hillside overlooking the vineyards. Cliff assembled an unrivaled team that shared his passion for quality. Their flagship wine 'Poetry', is sourced from the steep eastern hillside portion of the estate. In 2015, they achieved both Napa Green Land and Napa Green Winery certification.
