Tasting Notes

Aromas of pear, white peach, pineapple, and citrus blossom flow into notes of vanilla bean, toasted hazelnut, and crème brûlée; the palate is creamy yet lively, balancing ripe tropical fruit with chalky minerality and a bright, lemon‑zest finish. Pair with roast chicken, seared scallops, or creamy pasta.

Winemaking & Vineyard

Partial barrel fermentation and aging in French oak add spice and texture, while stainless‑steel components preserve purity and drive; fruit is sourced from Paso Robles subzones with calcareous soils for concentration and freshness in this Daou blend of vineyard lots.
