Oh.my.gosh! My new favorite wine! Paso Robles has done it again plus it’s a Daou wine (which I already like). Dark purple in color, lots of dark fruit on the nose and palate, slightly tannic but very smooth. Will definitely buy again!

Pretty good red blend, very rich with significant warming effect. I became an optimist after drinking!

Very similar to Prisoner, but a more wallet friendly price.

I definitely taste Zinfandel, and I was told it has Syrah. Tobacco and a slight jammy-ness. Very good. Great purple color.
