"Packaged in a heavier bottle, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Songbook is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. A profound Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, it exhibits a dense purple color in addition to notes of white chocolate, crème de cassis, blackberries and subtle oak. Full-bodied, opulent, generous and voluptuously textured, this stunning 2012 can be drunk now or cellared for 15 or more years. One of the best-run wineries in Napa Valley, Cliff Lede Vineyards has surged into the top hierarchy of quality in a relatively short period of time. It is located on the Yountville Crossroads, directly across from another budding superstar, the Kapcsandy Family Winery."
