DAOU Soul of the Lion – Paso Robles – CA - 2017
Cabernet Sauvignon
750ML / 14.7% ABV
Style: The 2017 vintage displays richness, elegance and balance—the hallmarks of a superb growing season that allowed for extended ripening. A deep, complex bouquet reveals notes of cassis, black currant, licorice, incense, ripe plum and vanilla. The palate is full-bodied, layered and complex, while smooth, silky tannins lead to a persistent finish.
Blend: The 2017 Soul Of A Lion is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot
Vineyard: Gracefully perched atop a stunning promontory at 2,200 feet, the DAOU Spanish Colonial style winery is embraced by a tangible serenity. The 100 percent calcareous soil makes no sound as it passes out nourishment and only a gentle breeze flows up through the Templeton Gap from the Pacific.
Wine & Dine: Some great pairings for this bottle of Daou include Slow Roasted Brisket, Caramelized Onions, Baby Arugula and Pomegranate.
