Bold and weighty but not grossly heavy or too sweet. The smoky, oaky, coffee bean note overpowered some of the fruit according to some people in our tasting group but I think once it breaths a bit this settles nicely into a rich example of a CA merlot.

Whoa, this is gnarly. Nose has a funkiness to it that I do not remember the last time I had this vintage. It's brown sugar, burnt cacao, baking spice, wet tobacco. There's some fruit trying to shine through, but it's being engulfed by all this other stuff going on.
Full bodied, decadent. Fudge and dark, stewed dark fruit with this beautiful mineral note that stands out. This has turned into a savory, rich wine that is blowing my mind right now.

A nose of dark fruits and some spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with blackberry, cassis, cocoa, and spices on finish. Needs a decant. www.winelx.com

A delicious merlot that I drank with a steak! Daou hits another one out of the park.
