An absolute powerhouse from Daou’s crown jewel label from Paso Robles AVA, this is easily one of the most opulent and complex Cabernets Paso Robles has to offer. The 2019 vintage brings depth, elegance, and structure in perfect harmony, bold yet incredibly refined.

It opens with an intense bouquet of cassis, blackberries, and dark chocolate, layered with espresso, cedar, truffle, and just a hint of tobacco and anise. The aromatics alone are captivating.

On the palate, it’s full-bodied and richly textured, with a cascade of dark fruit, mocha, and graphite. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity give it great lift and structure. The oak is seamlessly integrated, and the finish is long, luxurious, and multi-layered.

Whether you’re enjoying it now or cellaring it for the next decade or more, this is a bottle that truly delivers. Worth every drop. Cheers! — 3 days ago
