The 2023 Daou Cabernet Sauvignon is a polished, fruit-forward expression of Paso Robles winemaking, offering impressive depth and structure at an accessible price point. This vintage continues DAOU’s reputation for crafting bold, yet elegant wines with a clear sense of place.
Aromatically, the wine opens with an enticing bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, and cassis, layered with hints of graphite, cigar box, and vanilla bean. Subtle herbal accents like sage and thyme add freshness and complexity, while underlying notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee lend richness.
On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience with silky tannins and a well-structured frame. Ripe flavors of black raspberry, cherry preserves, and plum unfold alongside accents of mocha, toasted oak, and sweet baking spice. The mid-palate is plush and concentrated, leading to a lingering, balanced finish marked by freshness and finesse.
This cabernet sauvignon will pair beautifully with a wide range of hearty dishes including, ribeye steak, lamb chops, short ribs, mushroom risotto, and mature cheeses like aged cheddar, gouda, or manchego.
