Lionheart
Lionheart produces wines across California's diverse terroirs, drawing on classic varietals to craft a focused portfolio. The winery's Cabernet Sauvignon anchors its range—a wine that Wine Enthusiast has rated at 90 points, reflecting the structure and depth the region imparts to this varietal. Alongside it sits a Pinot Noir, equally rated at 86 points by the same critic, capturing the elegance typical of California's cooler-climate expressions. The Saralees Vineyard Angels Fare Marsanne-Roussanne, also at 86 points, demonstrates the winery's willingness to explore the Rhône-inspired white blends that have gained traction in California. Each wine represents a deliberate choice of grape and site, with Wine Enthusiast's assessments providing external validation of their quality. The range suggests a winery attuned to both red and white expression, grounded in California's established varietals.
