Tasting note

The vintage delivers yet another stunning blend with trademark Pessimist flair. This wine is powerful and intensely aromatic out of the glass, presenting fragrances of blueberry, boysenberry and black plum. Secondary layers reveal elderberry, truffle, cocoa and cardamom spice accented by hints of eucalyptus, leather, cherry pipe tobacco and grilled meats. Broad and expansive on the palate, it bestows lush, generous flavours of black cherry, blueberry, creme de cassis and damp forest floor. Hints of lavender, anise and black olive complement the rich, ripe fruit flavours. Massive in weight yet elegantly structured, this wine is a powerhouse that reveals itself gradually yet deliberately. It finishes smoothly with leisure and length on blackberry, espresso bean and pomegranate notes.

Producer

DAOU

As young men, brothers Georges and Daniel Daou shared the same dream: to live a life in wine. Their dream prevailed years later when they discovered what would become known as DAOU Mountain, an untapped world-class terroir in Paso Robles. Ever since, they have poured their souls into creating some of California's most noteworthy wines while cultivating a guest experience to match. In the end, DAOU is about family - and the truth that nothing brings people together like wine.

Region

Paso Robles

Paso Robles, located in California’s Central Coast, is a prominent and dynamic wine region known for its diverse wine styles and quality production. The area benefits from a Mediterranean climate with significant temperature variations between day and night, which helps in developing complex flavours in its wines.The region is renowned for its robust reds, particularly Zinfandel and Syrah, which thrive in the region's varied soils and microclimates, resulting in wines with rich fruit profiles and balanced acidity. The region also excels in producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Rhône varietals such as Grenache and Mourvèdre.
