Wine Description

Daou Patrimony Cabernet Franc 2018, a red wine, is from the very popular Adelaida District AVA in Paso Robles. This wine opens up straight out of the glass with a floral perfume and notes of cigar ash, leather, spice, cedar and an abundance of red and black cherries. Complex and layered, it is full- bodied and very well structured to sustain great potential for aging. The tannins are silky and velvety – accompanied by a great balance and freshness. The finish is long and will not stop on the palette. Incredibly concentrated yet elegant, it keeps you coming back for more.

Rated 4 out of 5
WA – March 23, 2023
The 2018 Cabernet Franc is a barrel sample of 100% Cabernet Franc expected to age 30 months in 100% new French oak. Opaque purple-black in color, it has the most wonderfully concentrated, classic nose, with pure blackcurrants, blackcurrant bud, pencil shavings, cigar box, iron, blackberry pie, cedar, bitter chocolate and Morello cherries with touches of underbrush, hibiscus and Black Forest cake. The palate is medium to full-bodied and satiny. It begins mineral and precise and slowly, slowly offers up all those sexy Cabernet Franc nuances, framed by silt-like, plush tannins and finishing lifted and ethereal.

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc, a black-skinned French wine grape variety, has earned its place as a key player in the world of wine. It thrives in numerous wine-producing regions globally, making its mark in the Loire Valley and standing as the third grape of Bordeaux blends. This versatile grape has even contributed genetically, being one of the parent grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside Sauvignon Blanc. Cabernet Franc wines are celebrated for their delicate and aromatic nature, especially when young. They share some similarities with Cabernet Sauvignon but are distinguished by a distinctive green, vegetal note that ranges from leafy and garrigue to green bell pepper. This unique characteristic has occasionally led wine enthusiasts to mistake Cabernet Franc for unripe Cabernet Sauvignon or even... Read More
