Lions Head Collection Finds Its Place in Napa Valley
An innovative wine collection announces a new tasting experience
and its inaugural reserve red blend – inspired by Greek myth.
For ten years, second-generation vintners Tim and Sabrina Persson of Lions Head Collection—the maker of Lion Tamer Napa Valley and Panthera Sonoma Valley—have quietly been making high-scoring wines from their cellar on Mount Veeder. But an evolution is coming: In June, Lions Head Collection will release the inaugural vintage of Lion Tamer Chimera Reserve Red Blend. It will also launch its first-ever portfolio tasting for guests at Hess Persson Estates.
“We decided it was time to throw caution to the wind,” says Tim. When he and Sabrina first started Lions Head Collection, their dream was to make wine by and for the next generation—embracing change and an outsider’s perspective, while at the same time relying on the wine wisdom passed down to them. “Our hope is that our fans will be excited, our guests will be delighted, and we’ll be able to share more about where our perspective comes from.”
