2022 Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon re-imagines what a Napa Valley Cabernet can be. The well-known power of valley floor Cabernet Sauvignon is harnessed and softened by our mountain-grown Malbec.
About

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

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.
