It’s an incredible achievement and has sensational notes of crème de cassis, graphite, violets, and lead pencil shavings. Made in a pure California, pedal-to-the-metal style, with full body and loads of fruit, it stays balanced, has ultra-fine tannins, and a layered, seamless style that just glides over the palate. Don’t think Paso Robles can make world-class Cabernet Sauvignon? Try this wine.” (November, 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eWine Advocate (Willam Kelley) 94-96\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--@page { margin: 0.79in }P { margin-bottom: 0.08in }--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e“Slated for bottling in August, the 2016 Soul Of A Lion is another immensely promising example of this Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated cuvée. Tasted from barrel, the wine reveals a deep and complex bouquet of smoky cassis, incense, ripe plums and rich soil. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and complete, with imposing power and savory structure framing a deep core of fruit. There's more depth and dimension here than in the 2015 rendition, and I suspect it will be even better.” (May, 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037455339759,"sku":"5500","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/2016DAOUSOULFRONT.jpg?v=1731312849","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2016-daou-estate-soul-of-a-lion","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
