Hard to find offering from Daou. If you see it, make sure you get it, as the opportunity likely won’t present itself again.

This wine is very dark - what we would expect from Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah - and has a lovely purple rim around the glass. The nose is full of black and blue berries and that chalky minerality for which Paso Robles is known. I get a licorice note as well as some sweet oak, but it is not overplayed. On the palate, this is a silky smooth wine with rich fruit and a savory edge. The tannins are firm, but forgiving. This is a delicious wine, and it is just waiting for a rib eye steak to come along.

fragrant fruit aromas of blackberry, raspberry, currant and crème de cassis. Notes of cocoa, coffee, dark chocolate, licorice and sweet pipe tobacco are rounded out with whispers of truffle, toffee, mocha and menthol. A juicy, fleshy palate offers bright, generous flavors of cherry, cranberry, strawberry and blueberry accented with black raspberry and tamarind—all supported by underlying accents of dusty leather, pencil shavings, cigar box and crushed herbs. An elegantly styled and beautifully structured finish reverberates with focused energy, vibrant berry fruit and ripe, polished tannins.
