Daou Soul of a Lion 21

Soul of the Lion is DAOU's prestige Paso Robles Cabernet, drawn from the highest blocks of their Adelaida estate. The 2021 — a warm but well-managed vintage — is dense and compelling, with inky dark fruit, dark chocolate, and cassis framed by firm, age-worthy tannins. Napa quality, Paso Robles terroir.
