Tasting Note

The 2021 vintage displays remarkable intensity in the glass with dark, inky ruby-purple hues. Abundant fruit aromas of black cherry, blackberry, blueberry jam and black currant are interwoven with accents of baking spices, sage and graphite. A voluminous entry introduces sumptuous layers of chocolate-covered blueberry, tobacco, mocha, vanilla and toasted oak. The mouthfeel is concentrated and elegant, with round, vibrant tannins that carry into a commanding finish. A wine of immense staying power that will evolve favourably for many years to come.

The primary focus at DAOU is in the creation of first-rate Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal honoured for its quiet elegance and robust structure. By meticulously cultivating vines from the superb Bordeaux Clone 337, the winery's Cabernet boasts a characteristic complexity that is both well-balanced and unapologetically rich. However, DAOU doesn't just shine in its Cabernet Sauvignon, the winery also produces exquisite Syrah, Grenache and Chardonnay among others that have earned unanimous acclaim from critics and connoisseurs alike.

The opulent tasting rooms are furnished with a dash of European flair, bookended with panoramic views that stretch out towards the Pacific Ocean.
