Cliff Lede Vineyards, established in 2002 in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, occupies the former S. Anderson Vineyard site, known for its fine sparkling wines. The winery is owned by Cliff Lede, a Canadian entrepreneur with a background in construction, who transitioned to winemaking after developing a passion for wine. His son, Jason, is now the Director of Communications at the winery. Cliff Lede Vineyards spans nearly 160 acres, including the Twin Peaks and Poetry Vineyards, which feature diverse terroirs and are primarily planted with red Bordeaux varieties. The winery emphasizes meticulous viticulture and winemaking practices, utilizing innovative fermentation techniques and hand-sorting grapes. The architecture of the winery, designed by Howard Backen, reflects a contemporary style with stunning views of the valley. The winery produces a range of wines focusing on Bordeaux varietals, including notable offerings like the High Fidelity blend and the FEL Pinot Noir. Visitors can enjoy a unique tasting experience that combines Cliff Lede's love for music, with vineyard blocks named after famous rock songs.
