Cliff Lede Vineyards, a family-run winery located in the renowned Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, has made a significant announcement regarding its distribution strategy. As of July 22, 2025, the winery has appointed Springboard Wine & Spirits Company as its broker for distribution throughout California.
