Heart & Courage

Heart & Courage showcases The Lion, the icon Cabernet Sauvignon of our portfolio. Bound in a gift box, this is a rare vertical library selection from vintage 2018 to 2021.
About

The Lion Estate Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the very best of Mount Veeder. Sourced exclusively from our Veeder Hills Vineyard, winemaking focuses on quality — each vintage is limited, library vintages even more so. Heart & Courage features:

  • 2018 The Lion Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 2019 The Lion Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 2021 The Lion Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

The Lion offers deep and abundant layers of wild mountain brambles, bay leaves and violets, dark cocoa and warm spices. Consulting winemaker Celia Welch collaborated with Dave Guffy to craft this distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon.

Behind The Name

Our founder, Donald Hess, was fond of these encouraging words.

“Live each day with the heart and courage of the lion!”
