      Detailed Description

      A supple, polished and sexy feel in its creme de cassis, blackberry, pencil shavings and ground herb-like aromas and flavors.

        Reviews:

        • Vinous: Deep, lavish and creamy aromas of fudge, espresso, cola, vanilla and perfectly ripe black currants and berrries greet the nose with measured force. The wine lands on the palate with aplomb, framed by silky yet grippy tannins and boasting flavors of espresso, dense blueberry, black peppercorn, bay leaf and pencil shavings.
        • James Suckling: Offers a massive core of earth, cedar and dried berry flavors, shaded by roasted herb and smoky, toasty oak nuances, with notes of chocolate brownie and graphite. This is ultimately a fairly tannic, chewy style that should benefit from a few years of cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

        Producer Information

        Founders George and Daniel Daou began searching for the vineyards that would comprise the DAOU estate in the mid 2000s - their objective was to find the perfect terroir for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. They eventually settled on an estate in the Adelaida District AVA in San Luis Obispo County, specifically a plot once singled out by oenologist André Tchelistcheff as being of great potential. It's rare to find high quality Cabernet Sauvginon in Paso Robles, rare even to find anyone vinifying the grape here, but the high altitude of the site combined with a forensic approach in the vineyard and winery have allowed the team at DAOU to produce some truly fantastic wines. The flagship Cabernet Sauvignons are dense, intense reds that are set to age for many decades. Mayote is a Cabernet Sauvignon / Syrah blend while the estate Chardonnay is a surprisingly elegant entry in the portfolio.
