Confident and curious, Lion Tamer from the Lions Head Cellar is for the next generation of wine lovers. Indulgently tame Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, a Malbec-centered blend, and a single varietal of Mount Veeder-grown Malbec come together to create The Unexpected Story:
- 2021 Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
- 2022 Lion Tamer Red Blend, Napa Valley
- 2021 Malbec, Mount Veeder
Malbec grown at the summit of Mount Veeder achieves an ideal flavor profile of violets and red fruits, with a signature punchy fuchsia color. Lion Tamer Red Blend uses these qualities in Malbec to rebalance the flavors and textures between classic red Napa Valley varietals: Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon holds all the power you expect from a Napa-grown Cabernet, softened with just the right touch of Malbec. Flavors of fresh black plums and toasted cocoa with plush tannins make it perfect for sharing.
