Description

The Lion Cabernet Sauvignon consistently presents an eloquent expression of Mount Veeder fruit with an exceptional refinement in both flavor and texture. Once again this vintage proves to be outstanding, as rich, delicious notes of cassis and blackberry announce an elegantly structured wine. On the palate, concentrated layers of supple black cherry and plum marry with elements of dark chocolate and espresso. This wine is supported by mouthfilling tannins, and the oak influence is gracefully integrated and marked by subtle sweet vanilla notes on the long, satisfying finish.  Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking 2018 Vintage Notes: Budbreak began on schedule at the end of February, and spring brought moderate temperatures that progressed into a warm summer without any disruptive heat spikes. Steady, consistent growing conditions provided the perfect environment for the fruit to mature and develop. As the moderate, even temperatures continued into the fall, harvest started slightly later than normal, and in some areas, extended long into the first week of November. With such lengthy hang time, the fruit matured consistently and was picked when it was at its peak, promising exceptional flavor in San Francisco Bay bottle.
