2023 Cliff Lede "High Fidelity" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend
97
Jeb Dunnuck
A right bank Bordeaux-inspired blend, the 2023 Red Blend High Fidelity offers stunningly pure cassis-like fruits intermixed with violets, sappy herbs, graphite, and chocolate. Reminding me of a great vintage of Château Figeac, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, focused mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is a smoking good, stunning value that readers should snatch up! Drink 2030-2045.

James Suckling
An intense, focused and intricate red that layers light, spicy touches between rich black fruit on a full body. Very fine-grained, integrated tannins are velvety on the palate but firm up toward the finish, boding well for further aging. Spearmint, vanilla beans, dark chocolate and creme de cassis expand as you sip. Drinkable now but best from 2030

Dark and voluptuous in the glass, the 2023 High Fidelity is quite the bomb. Plush contours and inky dark fruit are front and center. Spice, new leather, tobacco, incense and chocolate are all dialed up. This heady, full-throttle red is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. This goes to eleven.
