  DARK, YOUTHFUL TINT. CHOCOLATE AND BERRY ON THE NOSE.
  GOOD FRUIT, A BIT BRIGHT, SOME CEDAR AND CIGAR NOTES ON THE PALATE.
  SMOOTH, MOUTH FILLING, BUT NOT GREAT DEPTH...VERY DRINKABLE,
  THERE ARE BETTER VALUES IN THIS PRICE RANGE,. DAOU IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCER, BUT NOT CERTAIN IF I WOULD PURSUE THIS AGAIN....I HAVE 5 LEFT...

  Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc
  I've been on a Daou buying and tasting kick as of lately.
  The 2020 reserve has a bold Cabernet base, with tobacco, cigar box, pencil shaving aromas. The Petit Verdot and Cab Franc give it a more medium body and well decanted, wonderful dark fruits, spice and toasty chocolate notes unravel on the palate. Lovely. This reserve will develop nicely.

  Charming wine showing lots of Paso Robles character. Cassis, red currants, and sweet oak, a touch of tobacco, with very good richness and complexity for such a young wine. This is ready to roll now but will develop nuance with time.
