2020 Patrimony "Caves de Lions" Red Blend, Adelaida District, Paso Robles, California, USAABOUT THIS WINE Crafted with meticulous detail by the Daou brothers, the 2020 Caves des Lions is a sophisticated blend primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by a touch of Cabernet Franc. Grapes are hand harvested from the highest elevations of the Adelaida Districtan area known for its limestone rich soils and extreme diurnal shiftsresulting in grapes with tremendous intensity and natural acidity. The wine is fermented with native yeasts

Having inherited some of the most coveted parcels in the appellation (and being smart about current land purchases)

Average vine age of 75 years

and a balanced profile that will continue to evolve with age

Such a rewarding outcome seamed possible only in our dreams when we were younger

nowadays the vineyard is led by Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot

The true character of the wines is never forgotten

Translating to 'The Green Fault' or 'The Green Valley

allowing the character of each site to shine through

Though Jayer passed away in 2006

Yields are around 30hl/ha

being protected by the mountain of Reims from the cold North winds and rainfalls in the Marne valley
