Was able to cut through the fat of a seared duck breast. Would drink again. (665 views) | | | Tasted by Bob in NC on 7/15/2020 & rated 91 points: A wonderful Syrah & Grenache blend from Paso Robles. Bold dusty dry brambly blackberry fruit, great southern Rhone types of spices and a nice tannins. Was a fantastic pairing with our smoked brisket and our favorite BBQ sauce that we need to import from Maryland.

(738 views) | | | Tasted by Griffeyfan04 on 8/24/2016 & rated 89 points: Respectable wine that shows restraint and finesse for a Paso Syrah blend. Very enjoyable but not a complex wine. Went great with Lasagna (1721 views) | | | Tasted by ey1294 on 1/2/2016 & rated 91 points: - Garnet color with slow forming legs and aromas of raspberry, licorice anise, violet and medicinal. It's balanced and has flavours of black pepper, blackberry, black currant and raspberry with a full body. Polished texture with a long finish - Decanted 1 hour. Big well structured wine. Deep finish, tons of berries, spice and richness. (1905 views) | | | Tasted by fingers on 7/18/2015 & rated 91 points: Notes made on second day open. 60/40 Syrah-Grenache blend.
Very dark ruby color, almost opaque. Clear, heavy legs and no sediment. 14.1% on label.
Profound bouquet of boysenberry jam, carnations, butterscotch, fresh tar, and a little vegetal/herb mix. Brambly at the pop but that eased off with air. The palate is a pretty standard, hot and ripe Paso profile and despite that, I think the abundance of fruit portends that this should develop into something really nice in a few years. Was certainly more enjoyable on the second night. 5+12+15+9=91 (2175 views) |
| Daou Vineyards Producer websiteSyrah BlendThe 2018 is 40% Merlot and 60% Syrah.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
