Daou Soul of a Lion Cabernet Sauvignon

Soul of a Lion is the crown jewel of DAOU and an emblem of our quest to produce unsurpassed Cabernet Sauvignon from the terroir of DAOU Mountain. This vintage presents deep red and purple hues in the glass. The nose is elegantly layered with notes of violet, strawberry jam, cassis, blueberry, and black currant. Generous flavors of red fruit, chocolate-covered blueberry, and baking spices expand into a rich, rounded mouthfeel, while vivid acidity and bright tannins join on an exquisitely structured finish. The result is a wine of immense staying power that will evolve favorably for many years to come.

Extremely dark in the glass, it starts with heavily spiced aromas of vanilla, mocha and walnut cream that balance the rich black cherry and roasted berry fruits. The palate’s tannins are immensely grippy yet expertly polished, framing flavors of loam, black olive and graphite.
