The 2018 Soul of a Lion is the kind of awe-inspiring. age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon that Georges and Daniel envisioned when they first began researching the terroir of DAOU Mountain. This wine displays all the hallmarks of its cooler growing season – richness. elegance and balance. A dark. purple-black hue foreshadows the experience to come. Intense aromas of lilac. violet and spice swirl amid a deep. complex bouquet. The palate bursts with prodigious flavors of blueberry. boysenberry. plum. vanilla bean and chocolate-covered cherry. all underlain by striking minerality. Silky. integrated tannins unwind into an impossibly long finish. revealing both the power and finesse of its DAOU Mountain provenance.
