375ml (Half Bottle) DAOU Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

The DAOU Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles is a luxurious, full-bodied wine that exemplifies the power and finesse of mountain-grown fruit. It opens with dark, focused aromas of black cherry, cassis, and clove, layered with hints of caramel, milk chocolate, and mahogany. On the palate, it delivers opulent flavors of black raspberry, dried sweet tobacco, and savory herbs, all wrapped in polished tannins and a silky texture. The wine finishes with a long, smoky vanilla note, a result of aging in 50% new French oak barrels for 18 months. This Cabernet pairs beautifully with richly flavored dishes such as Tomahawk steak, rib roast, or grilled pork chops, where its depth and structure complement the boldness of the meat.
The 2021 vintage has earned widespread acclaim, with Wine Enthusiast awarding it an outstanding 95 points for its layered complexity and masterful tannin integration. Natalie MacLean also rated it 95 points, praising its smoky elegance and age-worthiness through 2032. These accolades affirm DAOU’s reputation for crafting Cabernet Sauvignon that rivals top-tier Napa offerings, while showcasing the unique terroir of Paso Robles.
