The Lion Tamer Red Blend 2021 earns its name from the use of Malbec as a 'tamer' to soften the powerful tannins of other Napa Valley varieties, creating a wine that is both bold and exceptionally smooth.

• Nose: It opens with alluring and complex aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and wild blackberries, layered with floral notes of violet and a hint of warm baking spices.
• Palate: Full-bodied and lush, the palate is dominated by succulent dark fruit flavors and dark chocolate, complemented by savory notes of roasted coffee and creamy vanilla from oak aging.
• Finish: The wine features a plush, velvety texture with well-integrated tannins, leading to a long and powerful finish.
• Winemaking: This Malbec-based blend is aged for approximately 18–22 months in French oak barrels (40% new oak) to achieve its signature depth and sophistication.
• Pairing: An ideal companion for grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, venison, or rich, spicy meat dishes.
