Chablis is the northernmost wine region in Burgundy, France. Chablis is known for Chardonnay grapes. Chardonnay is nearly the only grapes that grow in this region, which makes Chablis a remarkable place for locals and visitors. Chablis has a cool climate essential for Chardonnay to grow. The cool climate along with calcareous or chalky soils of Chablis provides more acidity and makes Chardonnay wines taste with less fruity flavor.
Chablis wines are almost exclusively made from Chardonnay grape. Chablis wines are notable for their greenish-yellow color and clear bright characteristics. Most Chablis wines have similar acidity as a green apple. There are other grape varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Cesar, and Gamay that come from Chablis but for the most part, Chardonnay has always been the pride of Chablis region.

DAOU Vineyards Soul of a Lion is made from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot .
The 2020 vintage presents an alluring profusion of black cherry, mulberry and Oregon blackberry aromas with notes of leather, cigar box and dark chocolate. Hints of desert sage and crème de menthe accent the rich fruit. The palate is silky and voluptuous, delivering loads of currant, cassis, black raspberry and ripe cherry. Notes of fig and baking spice are underscored by earthy tones of dates and truffle. Mature, ripe tannins yield a weighty, velvety texture integrated with a limestone minerality and subtle oak. A lengthy finish leaves lingering impressions of blackberry, plum and espresso with a touch of white pepper. A wine of immense staying power that will evolve favorably for many years to come.
Review:
Impressively dark in the glass, this bottling pairs intense purple fruit and flower on this nose with more roasted, umami-laden aromas. The elegant palate is a master class in tannin management, proving firm in structure yet soft in mouthfeel. Flavors of blackberry jam, cocoa, walnut and cracked pepper ride a lingering acidity into the finish.
