Daou The Pessimist 2020

Daou The Pessimist 2020, a red wine blend, uses the grape varietals from Paso Robles AVA in California. This red wine is predominantly using Petite Sirah varietal and 18% Zinfandel, 17% Syrah, 3% Lagrein. The wine has 15.20% ABV. The 2020 Pessimist presents intense aromas of blueberry, cherry, plum and strawberry with undercurrents of lavender and kirsch. The nose evolves with layers of warm leather, truffle, pipe tobacco, black pepper and allspice. Rich and weighty on the palate, this wine delivers a no-holds-barred generosity of bold fruit flavors’”boysenberry, blackberry, cassis and plum, underlain by notes of rhubarb, pomegranate and damp forest floor. Subtle hints of black olives, mushroom and tamarind spice concisely complement the balanced and well-rounded flavor profile. A persistent, elegant finish lingers with red cherry and cranberry tones highlighted by hints of dark chocolate.
