Strong aromas of charred coffee beans, blistered black plums and cherries, with accents of lilac and dried beef. The roasted flavors extend across the palate, bringing together espresso, soy, charred meat and dark fruit. The tannins are polished yet hefty.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: A rich, complex chardonnay with aromas of grilled pineapples, lemon curd, spiced pears, lanolin, crushed stones and salted butter. Grilled hazelnuts and vanilla, too. Full-bodied and buttery, yet long, driven and vibrant. Excellent concentration.

Producer Information

In the golden, oak-studded hills of Paso Robles’ fabled west side, not far from William Randolph Hearst’s magnificent castle, there is a man with a Homeric vision. His name is Daniel Daou and he is devoting his life and every imaginable resource to creating, first and foremost, a Cabernet Sauvignon that rivals the very best in the world. Gracefully perched atop a stunning promontory at 2,200 feet, the DAOU Spanish Colonial style winery is embraced by a tangible serenity. Hawks wheel and bank while the all-day sun caresses close planted rows of lush, emerald green vines. The 100 percent calcareous soil makes no sound as it passes out nourishment and only a gentle breeze flows up through the Templeton Gap from the Pacific. The quiet is bewitching; you want to lay down roots here, just as the four-year-old vines have done. But the sense of peace belies the serious industry at work on this 100 acre estate. No effort is spared to create the luscious varietals and blends that flow from this limited production winery. This kind of synergy happens rarely: superlative climate and terroir, super intensive vineyard culture, and cutting edge viticultural practice.
