DAOU Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (750 ml)

DAOU Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a luxurious and complex wine that embodies the spirit of Paso Robles. The grapes for this wine were grown in one of the wettest winters on record, which set the stage for a bountiful harvest. The decision to allow the fruit to hang through the heat wave resulted in an outstanding wine with incredible depth and character.

This wine is a sensory delight with a powerful and inviting nose that is typical of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of wild cherry, currant, and mulberry are accompanied by notes of cocoa, coriander, and caramelized sugar, with a subtle hint of wintergreen. The palate offers an explosion of ripe, dark berry fruits, including blackberry, black cherry, and pomegranate, with accents of blueberry and raspberry, underscored by kirsch and rhubarb. The wine is integrated nicely with toasty oak, graphite, and forest floor, and the silky texture glides into a long and generous finish.

DAOU Vineyards Reserve Cabernet 2021 is a full-bodied wine with incredible aging capabilities. It is the perfect wine to enjoy with a hearty meal, such as a grilled steak or roasted lamb. The wine's richness and complexity make it a great choice for a special occasion or a memorable evening with friends.
