Lions Head Collection
2022 Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
FROM THE WINEMAKER
“In crafting this wine, we strive for the perfect balance between hedonismand elegance. By incorporating a touch of Malbec into the blend, we enhance the softness of the tannins, resulting in a smooth and seamless experience. These supple tannins envelop the palate, revealing layers of blackberries and dark cherries, complemented by hints of freshly ground coffee. The wine is beautifully balanced, featuring well-integrated sweet oak notes that culminate in a lengthy, elegant finish.”
– Stephanie Pope, Winemaker
