Daou Cabernet Sauvignon (750Ml)

Description

DAOU Vineyards, also known as Daou Family Estates, produces this exceptional red wine, which is usually full-bodied and rich in flavor. It is primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon, though some vintages are blended with other grapes like Petit Verdot or Merlot, depending on the year. The grapes come from Paso Robles, California, specifically the Adelaida District in the Central Coast, where the high elevation, unique soils, and large day-to-night temperature changes give the wine its distinctive character. Bottled in standard 750ml bottles, this wine generally has an alcohol content of 14.2% to 14.5%, varying slightly by vintage.

On the nose, it offers aromas of blackberry, plum, black cherry, cassis, cedar, vanilla, and subtle hints of spice or mocha, while the palate is rich with dark fruit flavors like black cherry and boysenberry, often accompanied by notes of cocoa, espresso, or baking spices. The smooth, well-integrated tannins provide a velvety structure that balances the bold flavors. Typically aged in French oak barrels, the wine combines California Cabernet boldness with elegance.

It pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, lamb, or hearty vegetarian dishes like portobello mushroom Wellington and consistently earns high scores from wine critics. Widely available in the US and internationally, it stands out as a top-quality Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon.
