This is a badass wine. Blend of Petite Verdot and Petite Syrah - earthy, dark cherry and coffee.

Cranberry earth, dirt and grit. Crunchy slurpy goodness.

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

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.

A wine of equilibrium: sleek and powerful, finishing with both opulence and structure.
