January 13, 2024 - Had two bottles of this. Opened one of them two years ago and really didn’t like it. Found it harsh and unpleasant. Passage of time made a huge difference. Has really mellowed and smoothed. Can now taste some nice fruit against an earthy backbone.

March 13, 2023 - Nice cab blend though fairly nondescript. This seems to be a common theme with most of the Daou wines I've tried.

September 29, 2022 - 93 Sep 2022 👃 very floral 👅 PnP - big time cassis, backed by some vanilla bean, dark chocolate, fine tannin, medium body, no alcohol though I'm sure it's high, a cocoa bitterness at the finish. An honest, big wine. When the time and place is right for this type of wine, this bats well above average.
