Estate Soul of a Lion is DAOU's flagship wine, crafted primarily from estate cabernet sauvignon with additions of cabernet franc and petit verdot. Grown on the limestone‑rich slopes of Daou Mountain, the wine reflects the site's natural combination of altitude, calcareous soils and cool coastal influence.
These conditions yield profound concentration and structure, enabling the wine to achieve depth without sacrificing balance. Estate Soul of a Lion is produced through hand selection of the finest blocks, small‑lot fermentations and extended ageing in premium French oak, resulting in a powerhouse cabernet with finesse.
The estate's meticulous farming and minimal intervention approach, together with naturally high phenolics from the site, give Estate Soul of a Lion its signature opulence, polish and longevity, cementing its reputation as one of Paso Robles' benchmark wines.
