2020 DAOU Vineyards Estate 'Soul of a Lion' Cabernet Sauvignon Adelaida District, Paso Robles
VARIETAL COMPOSITION Cabernet Sauvignon 81%, Cabernet Franc 13%, Petit Verdot 6%
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "Impressively dark in the glass, this bottling pairs intense purple fruit and flower on this nose with more roasted, umami-laden aromas. The elegant palate is a master class in tannin management, proving firm in structure yet soft in mouthfeel. Flavors of blackberry jam, cocoa, walnut and cracked pepper ride a lingering acidity into the finish."
Robert Parker - "The 2020 Soul Of A Lion, made from free-run juice, is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot matured for 22 months in 100% new French oak. It has a deep ruby color and pure aromas of blackcurrants, tobacco, truffle and thyme with touches of leather and graphite. The full-bodied palate has a pleasantly rustic texture and savory character, finishing with tobacco accents. Drink it over the next 3-5 years."
