Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of Cab Sauv, Petit Verdot & Merlot. Deep Ruby with spicy dark berry nose, aged for 20 months on French oak (50% new). On the palate blackberry and ripe cherry with notes of licorice, mushroom and cedar spice. Vivid acidity, fine tannins, ok balance, medium finish ending with an earthy character. Drink now, losing its luster.

This is the DAOU Reserve Cab 2011 not what picture says: in your face rich forward fruit soft tannin, a very good wine for the near term say 5-7 years. Surprised me a little. Bravo

Very smooth. Very close to perfection. Very soft. One of the best wines I ever had.

A reserve with not much acid nor tannin, doesn't make much sense to me.
