Daou Vineyards
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Exciting to taste the '15 vintage. Young, but beautiful. Will be a great wine two years from now. Rating upped from 9.1 11/5/16. Rating re-affirmed 3/30/17. Still young and powerful, but more settled and starting to shine. WS 93pts 10/2017. Tasting 4/20 - incredibly smooth now. Rating upped to 93.

A wonderful texture and was delicious right out of the bottle. This is my first experience with Daou Vineyards and I came away really impressed. They will certainly become a go to for me. The wine went perfectly with the prime ribeye steaks that accompanied it. It was nice to crack open a good bottle like this while my brother Michael was visiting from Northern California.
