Wine description |
The 2022 DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies Paso Robles. The nose is highly perfumed, showing aromas of black cherry, cassis, plum, desert sage, sandalwood, and dusty minerality. Secondary aromas reveal notes of cigar box, leather, bay leaf, and black olive. The palate is rich and weighty, offering generous flavors of black raspberry, spicy currant, and blueberry compote with impressions of Bing cherry, Boysenberry, fig, and baking spices. Ripe, fine-grained tannins carry into a structured finish with lingering accents of cherry, espresso, and vanilla. Barrel Aging: 8 months in 50% new French oak |
