FROM THE WINEMAKER

"We lead Lion Tamer Red Blend with Malbec grown on Mount Veeder. Mouthwatering tannins frame complex flavors of black cherry, blueberry, and boysenberry with subtle notes of milk chocolate. In crafting this wine, my goal is to achieve perfect balance, with fruity layers concentrated in the mid-palate, baking spice and oak on a lingering finish."

- Stephanie Pope, Winemaker

TECHNOLOGY AND WINEMAKING

Our Lions Head Cellar houses some of the most progressive winemaking technology allowing our winemakers to craft wines of exceptional quality that showcase the distinctive lands they come from. The winemakers leverage tools like our optical sorter, which ensures only the highest quality berries are delivered to the fermentation tanks; and cutting-edge tanks, which facilitate 24/7 monitoring of pumpovers and micro-adjustments to be made throughout the winemaking process.
