Daou Cabernet Sauvignon, 2018, Paso Robles, CA
$95.00
The 2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a true powerhouse.
Made exclusively from free-run juice and aged for 20 months in 80% new French oak barrels, this wine offers everything you desire from a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.
A deep, purple-black hue connotes lush aromas of black currant, crushed blackberry and dark chocolate with hints of licorice, violets and dried oregano. A focused, full-bodied palate boasts a powerful entry and concludes with a long, layered finish. Silky, integrated tannins provide beautiful structure, while an enchanting floral note adds freshness and precision. This wine is approachable now, but also has the grace and force to provide pleasure for decades to come.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95 points
