Product Description
The 2023 Daou Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles delivers perfumed aromatics, ripe dark fruit, and polished structure, crafted for immediate pleasure with the freshness of a cool Pacific-influenced season. This value-driven Daou Red Wine from the USA showcases limestone intensity with silky tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
Tasting Notes
Highly perfumed nose of black cherry, cassis, and plum accented by desert sage, sandalwood, and dusty minerality; secondary notes of cigar box, leather, bay leaf, and black olive. The palate is rich and weighty with black raspberry, spicy currant, and blueberry compote, evolving to Bing cherry, boysenberry, fig, and baking spices; ripe, fine-grained tannins carry a lingering finish of cherry, espresso, and vanilla.
Winemaking & Vineyard
A Paso Robles blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot and Merlot; aged about eight months, roughly half in new French oak for polish and aromatic complexity. Sourced across Paso Robles with limestone-rich terroir and coastal breezes from DAOU Mountain, yielding intensity with freshness and balance.
