Wine Description

The DAOU Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a true showcase of Paso Robles’ potential for Bordeaux-style wines. This wine displays an intense purple-red color that immediately grabs your attention. The nose delivers a heady mix of fruit-forward aromas like blackberry, raspberry, and plum, accompanied by rich notes of licorice, thyme, vanilla, and cherry. As it opens up in the glass, the bouquet becomes even more complex, offering layers of clove, nutmeg, and spice. The wine is a sensory experience from start to finish.

On the palate, this DAOU Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is beautifully balanced, with deep flavors of black fruit, blueberry, and chocolate-covered raspberry. The herbal undertones of cedar and truffle combine to create a luxurious mouthfeel. This wine also shows impressive body and opulent textures, with velvety tannins that glide smoothly into a long, resonating finish. Each sip allows you to enjoy the richness and complexity that DAOU has become known for.

Winemaker Daniel Daou has raised the bar with this reserve wine, using his fanatically scientific approach to winemaking to attain full ripeness and depth without needing to manipulate the wine. The 2021 vintage was barrel-aged for 18 months in 50% new French oak, which imbues the wine with a unique character that speaks to its terroir.

At 15.2% ABV, this DAOU Reserve Cab 2022 is a bold and rich red wine that will appeal to those who love full-bodied wines with smooth, rounded flavors. With 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Petit Verdot, the blend highlights the varietal strengths while adding complexity to each layer of the tasting experience.

This wine has received high praise from critics, including a 94-96 point rating from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. The blend of ripe fruit, spice, and balanced tannins was referred to as one of the best examples of Bordeaux-style wines from Paso Robles. These accolades show that the DAOU Reserve Cab is more than just a local favorite—it’s an emblematic wine of the region.
