Pessimist — Un brindis entre amigos
Probamos el Pessimist una tarde cualquiera.
El vino abrió su alma como nosotros la nuestra: oscuro, profundo y un ligero toque dulce de sinceridad.

Al servirlo, su color "chicha morada", denso y casi misterioso como las mejores conversaciones. En nariz, fue un abrazo de moras, ciruela, un toque de vainilla y esa nota ahumada profunda que parecía venir de alguna historia que ya habíamos vivido.

Al probarlo, todo se ensambló con naturalidad... la potencia del Syrah, la dulzura del Zinfandel y la estructura del Petite Sirah fusionaron nuestras personalidades en la mesa.

Taninos suaves, redondos pero con la firmeza justa que te envuelve el paladar sin imponerse. Vino con carácter, pero sin arrogancia que supo acompañar mientras hablábamos de la vida,
y celebrar.

Pessimist no nos pareció pesimista... nos recordó que el tiempo bien vivido se mide en copas compartidas, y que algunos vinos, como algunas amistades, se sienten mejor cuando se dejan abrir con calma! — 3 days ago

Didn’t like it out of the bottle, but it got much softer over@time and ultimately was a wonderful wine. — 2 months ago

Grapefruit notes, very citrusy tannins linger in mouth for a while but its light bodied, very tart somewhat semi dry pairs well with salmon, spinach and brown rice — 4 months ago

Tannins soft, fruit in check. Had a dusty finish that could have been Rutherford. But lacked the expected intensity and complexity of a reserve. — 25 days ago

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! — 2 months ago
