DAOU Vineyards Estate Soul of a Lion 2021

Soul of a Lion is a family tribute to DAOU Founders, Georges and Daniel Daou’s father, Joseph. It celebrates his life and the family’s journey from Lebanon to France and the United States. Despite the challenges and setbacks they faced, they always came back roaring with the Soul of a Lion.

Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 82%, Cabernet Franc 12%, Petit Verdot 6% from Paso Robles in California, USA

Taste Profile: A remarkable intensity in the glass with dark, inky ruby-purple hues. Abundant fruit aromas of black cherry, blackberry, blueberry jam and black currant are interwoven with accents of baking spices, sage and graphite. A voluminous entry introduces sumptuous layers of chocolate-covered blueberry, tobacco, mocha, vanilla and toasted oak. The mouthfeel is concentrated and elegant, with round, vibrant tannins that carry into a commanding finish. A wine of immense staying power that will evolve favorably for many years to come.

Winemaking Process: 22 months in 100% new French oak
