Critics Scores
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2015 Soul of a Lion is a blockbuster, and one of the finest wines from this estate to date. A blend of 76 Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot that spent 22 months in new barrel, it offers a Bordeaux-like bouquet (it reminds me of a great vintage of Leoville Las Cases) of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, spice, and cedar. Rich, full-bodied, layered, and powerful, it’s beautifully balanced and has no hard edges. Hide bottles for 2-3 years and enjoy over the following two decades.
Wine Spectator
Rich and firm, with a solid core of dark berry, plum, blueberry and blackberry flavors that fan out evenly on the palate, ending with a burst of melted black licorice. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This barrel sample of 2015 Soul Of A Lion is a blend of 76 Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 Cabernet Franc and 11 Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it offers up a nose of crème de cassis, mocha, dusty soil and spice box. The rich, medium to full-bodied palate is all earthy/meaty/gamey at this primary stage, rich with firm, chewy tannins and finishing long with lovely expression. (92-94)
Wine Enthusiast
Intense aromas of smoke, black currant and crushed purple flowers make for an impressive entry to this blend of 76 Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 Cabernet Franc and 11 Petit Verdot. The palate combines the tang of plum skin and dimpled berries with flavors of peppercorn, violet and gravelly minerality.
