Olga Stonerock –
Great traditional Cali cab. Good fruit, nice acidity, and a balanced oak. The WOTN.
James Furness –
Enjoyed the pure, refined fruit of this Cab during a California Wineries walk in Montreal. Savory notes balanced with fruit and an elegant cedar and spice finish.
Ike Kirkwood –
95pts. Drink 2020-2036. Rated May 2019.
Eva Sanborn –
Affordable and pleasing red from central CA with rich cassis, blue and black fruits, cherries, and a medium finish. Sweet but not overpowering. Would repurchase.
Michael Martin –
“Daou’s bottle hits a homer with a great price point and is very drinkable today.”
Jerrod Willett –
Great taste!
Gail Sellers –
Earthy nose, light fruit, hint of jam, shows age quality. Cheers.
Teresa Madden –
PnP simple, Austin hope or Caymus style. Less sweet than Caymus. Good for guests, not for me.
Santiago Bussard –
Malloy’s of Lisle’s Big Reds Tasting: Tannic with notes of plum, currants, and chocolate. Flavors of black fruit, roasted plum, and brown sugar. 86-87 pts.
Frank Blackwell –
Solid wine, needs 2-3 years to develop.
William Matos –
Sorry, but there is no review given to rewrite. Please provide me with the existing review.
Nicole Minder –
Overpowering oak taste. Not my preference. Red Lion gathering for pleasure seekers.
Daniel Cranford –
Over oaked and too sweet with overpowering spices. Disappointing, especially for the price.
Cornelia Carvalho –
Eucalyptus, blueberries, fresh wood, vanilla, and a long peppery finish. Decant for 30-45 minutes.
Sally Hicks –
Over oaked with brief finish and little fruit notes. Not worth the premium price.
Joe Sonnenberg –
Structured with cherry notes.
Sidney Crooms –
Lovely aroma, good weight and mouthfeel. Very moreish and easy to like.
Beatrice Lewis –
Daou Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon: A high-end Paso Cab with black fruit and flint on the nose. Good tannins and finish, though a bit weak in the mid-palate. Nice blend of blackberry, tobacco, and a hint of anise. Recommended.
Vera Russell –
Fruit forward with some tannins left in the palate. Tasted good with a steak!
Joseph Bova –
A full-bodied wine with dark purple color and notes of blackberry, black cherry, leather, oak, vanilla, graphite, and plum. Scents of licorice, spice, blackberry, and dark chocolate. Dry and slightly acidic with a lengthy finish. This vintage should be cellared.
Steven Smith –
Simple.
Jennie Wilson –
Cabernet is nice, but reserve isn’t worth the extra cost.
Julie Dodd –
Worth waiting until 2023 or later.
Lawrence Kerr –
Expertly crafted virtual tasting with Fred Dame. Insightful and educational notes on wine making, not just a sales pitch. A wealth of knowledge on Daou and wine in general. A high-end wine that falls short on the palette with weak berry notes and thin texture.
Lee Bunch –
Red cherries abound with restrained tannins; aging recommended.
Robert Yu –
Beautifully matured wine worth $59.
Ida Moore –
Cherries with substance and elegance.
Frank Cunningham –
Opulent and well-integrated with blue and black fruits, a long finish, and perfectly dialed-in oak. Paired well with creamy beef stew.
Jean Boyle –
Decant for 1.5 hours for a clearer palate and stronger black fruit with a hint of cigar box on the finish.
Lois Elliott –
Smooth and sweet, easy to drink.
Nina Grimes –
Purple color, medium/full body, round texture, medium finish, high acidity.
Sherry Mack –
Dry cab with bold tannins. Notes of blackberry preserves and oak. Great value, could benefit from aging.
Claude Lombardo –
Great.
Saul Kilburn –
Nice nose and deep purple color, but a little thin and lacks depth.
Ivy Ulibarri –
Ages well; drinkable in 3+ years.
Trinidad Curtis –
Overpriced Cab that disappoints, needs aging.
Nan Basel –
Young with strong tannins but opened up after an hour of decanting with good fruit flavors and aftertaste. Will repurchase.
Jimmy Davis –
One hour decant. Cranberry red. Nose of blackberries, raspberries, smoke and ash. Ash dominant in taste. Heavy acidity, firm tannins. Medium plus body. Nice QPR at $50.
William Wright –
Thick, massive wine with dark purple fruit and tannins.
Charles Randolph –
Slightly less dry than expected, sweet fruit aroma, pricey but enjoyable. Drink in moderation.
Jacquline Eubanks –
Superb berry notes. Perfect with steak or burger.
Michael Garbarino –
Delicious, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon with a bold taste that complements ribeyes perfectly. No heavy mouthfeel.
Thelma Rahn –
Wait 7-10 years to appreciate this wine’s potential. It changes completely and comes together marvelously. Daou is worth the reward. 92-94 rating depending on the vintage.
Tara Edward –
Silky but lacking complexity in finish.
Cheryl Sumner –
Smooth, delicious, no bitterness.
Sean Platner –
“Young, bright berry nose. Good acid balance, with earthy finish. Improves with age, but lovely now. Great value.”
Curtis Hale –
18 months oak, medium plus nose with sweet spice, espresso, black plum, baking spice, nutmeg, blackberry. Palate juicy but rustic, spice layers do well, black fruits, complex finish. Better value than Napa, might need time for complexity.
Christopher Johnson –
Great cab.
William Johnson –
Solid bottle with dusty tannins coating blackberries, softens and opens up after an hour or two.
Holly Olsson –
Balanced with sweet fruit, but more sweetness than I prefer. Vinous lists it as 50% new oak, surprising considering its opulence. Ripe blue/black, cassis and vanilla with structured tannins.
Chase Carlson –
Potential for improvement with age.
Patricia Bitting –
Thin and sweet with berry and oak flavors. Not bad, but better options exist for around $40.
Anne Rutherford –
Approachable young wine with dry tannins and fruity notes. Not very complex but solid under $50. Bought 2019 Daou reserve Chardonnay, rich with fruit and oak flavors. Not for everyone but great for rich dishes with low acidity.
Dolores Mance –
DAOU Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has a spicy, peppery flavor that needs time to integrate and balance itself out. It will be great in a few years. The wine has a magnificent nose of dark chocolate, licorice, blackberries, and cured meats. The palate delivers an explosion of fresh, dark berry fruits with lovely accents of blueberry and raspberry. The wine promises excellent age-worthiness with flavors of blackberry, juicy black cherry, cassis, and cocoa.
Erica Hammond –
Fruit forward with blue fruits, mild tannins. Decanting improves. Good buy at $30. Not as complex as Napa cabs. Will buy again.
Kelly Reynolds –
Better and more complex than Post & Beam Cab at a lower price.
Wilson Starr –
“Favorable score for concentrated Cabernet with chocolate and tobacco notes. Lacks complexity for $50+ price range.”
Bertha Colvin –
Excellent.
Jeffrey Walker –
Dark ink color, full-bodied with plums, dark fruits, oak, and cassis. Firm tannins and a long finish. Decant for at least one hour.
Michael Vildosola –
Fruit forward nose, spicy palate, mellowed out after 2 hours. Fine for the price.
Wendell Harris –
Full-bodied, memorable taste.
Nicole Bisarra –
High quality, smooth drinking cab with deep color. Lacks complexity, but a steal at $30.
Laurie Phelps –
Deep red with slow legs. Oak, cassis, and blackberry nose. Full-bodied with leathery texture, long finish, and medium acidity.
Helen Wang –
Great value wine with notes of plum, blackberry, pencil lead, leather, and baking spices. Well-balanced acidity and tannin.
Esther Machado –
Obnoxious, with a green Paso vibe – Bryan.
Lewis Lafave –
“Step up from Paso Robles Cab, nice taste.”
Eleanor Gardner –
Drink now.
Lizbeth Foster –
Acceptable.
Linda Lubrano –
Smooth and well-integrated tannins; dusty cocoa, savory sage, juicy blackberry palate with chalky minerality and medium acidity. Hold and revisit.
Linnie Bedard –
Tart and lacking depth, not worth a second purchase.
Lillian Casbarro –
Deep purple color. Aromas of honey, mocha, and plum. Brambly palate with firm tannins on the finish. Good for a Christmas party, but not something to actively seek out.
Daniel Perez –
Review: Requires aging, try again in a few years.
Maria Ayala –
Lukens 15.99: A must-try wine.
Edward Tanaka –
Great gift for Leslie Hess. Delicious taste.
Merlin Waite –
Dark fruits, smooth finish, amazing value.
