Are you looking for a new wine to enjoy during your game night this summer?
The Lions Head Collection was born bold – dedicated to creating connection through incredible next generation wines.
Panthera Chardonnay - SRP: $45
The Panthera wines are inspired by the subtleties in strength – captured through the bright acidity created by the cool climate in the Sonoma Coast and coaxed into powerful flavors by the winemaking team at the blending table. Panthera Chardonnay showcases the dynamism and energy of the Russian River Valley as this wine displays both a vibrant aspect of fruit and a confident oak profile. This wine presents beautiful layers of crisp, bright Asian pear and golden apple that lead to luscious notes of lemon curd developed from malolactic fermentation. The deft baseline of toasted oak introduces notes of buttered French toast and hints of crème brûlée, which are complemented by a signature backbone of acidity nurtured on the Sonoma Coast.
Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon - SRP: $65
Lion Tamer wines challenge the norms of traditional winemaking through experimentation in high elevation winegrowing and a bold use of Malbec in the final blend. This Napa Cab is plush in texture with heady aromas of blackberries, black cherries and notes of freshly ground coffee. A touch of Malbec develops a softness in the tannins, making this a wonderfully smooth and seamless wine. These mouthwatering tannins surround the palate, framing layered elements of bright blueberry, subtle smoke and deliciously rich mocha. The result is a wine that’s perfectly balanced, with well-integrated sweet oak notes presenting on the lengthy, elegant finish.

I’ve always had an affinity for finding hidden words whether that be unscrambling letters or in a highlighter frenzy Wordsearch hunt.
