🏰 The 2018 Daou Vineyards Soul of a Lion is DAOU's crown jewel, a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon blend that embodies richness, elegance, and balance, reflecting a cooler growing season. This dark, purple-black wine offers intense aromas of lilac, violet, spice, crème de cassis, chocolate, tobacco, and cedar pencil. 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 power and finesse. 【The inaugural vintage of Soul of a Lion shocked the wine world by receiving The Wine Advocate's first rating of 96 points for a Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, and the 2018 continues this legacy, often scoring 94-97+ points from major critics】. 🍴 This powerful Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a heavenly pairing with grilled ribeye, lamb, wild game like venison, quality cuts of medium-rare beef, or dark chocolate. 🥂 An awe-inspiring, age-worthy wine perfect for grand celebrations, impressing discerning guests, or as a centerpiece for a luxurious dinner.
