New vintage of Daou’s signature Malbec blend. A bit edgy at first but smooth and dense and full of dark fruit with some air. 50% Malbec, with the balance Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. — 2 months ago
Beautiful Cabernet Franc, surprisingly mellow tannins, but still nice structure. Smooth and silky. Dense fruit. Very good. — 7 months ago
Read the hype, bought the bargain, drank it alone like a responsible adult. Too bad the 2021 is too young and tight-wound at first, but on day three it exhaled and pulled me completely inward. Magnetic. I am sold. Deep and complex, there are too many layers to name, but i immensely enjoy the fruit’s push against the savory pull. Quietly persuasive rather than flashy. — 8 months ago
I really liked this vintage! It’s a fun blend and has some great flavor. I get wet stone under a flood of fruit, melon, Meyer lemon, pear, and a little saline. — 12 days ago
Chocolate, blackberry, cherry, leather, and oak. Chewy, fruity, and bold. — a month ago
Elegant and mature, this Rhône style blend, leaning heavily on Syrah with Grenache and Terret Noir, shows raspberry, strawberry, black cherry, blackberry, grilled meat, forest floor and leather. It could use a bit more acidity to add to the vibrancy but otherwise the balance of fruit with velvety tannin is appealing. Very food friendly. — 5 months ago

I tasted the 2024 Vermentino with my flight at Tablas Creek and bought a bottle to take home. Lovely fruity wine, very drinkable. I generally don’t like whites with strong minerality but found this one to be very palatable! — 2 years ago
Great Cab from Paso Robles. Full bodied, but had pleasant notes of fruit. Gifted from Joan & Jen — 2 years ago
Fun balance of bold Rhone style with American fruit. Oak, blackberry, and cherry over leather and coffee. Rich and round but can use a touch of time to breathe. — 24 days ago

Very similar to the 21. Blueberry and smoke with oak, cocoa, and a touch of raspberry. Smooth but still has structure and tannins. — 7 days ago
