| Vintage: | 2020 |

| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThe 2020 vintage presents an alluring profusion of black cherry, mulberry and Oregon blackberry aromas with notes of leather, cigar box and dark chocolate. Hints of desert sage and cr\u00e8me de menthe accent the rich fruit. The palate is silky and voluptuous, delivering loads of currant, cassis, black raspberry and ripe cherry. Notes of fig and baking spice are underscored by earthy tones of dates and truffle. Mature, ripe tannins yield a weighty, velvety texture integrated with a limestone minerality and subtle oak. A lengthy finish leaves lingering impressions of blackberry, plum and espresso with a touch of white pepper. A wine of immense staying power that will evolve favorably for many years to come.\r\nBlend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot\u00a0\r\nWine Enthusiast 97 Points \r\nJeb Dunnuck 96 Points \r\nRobert Parker 95 Points \r\nDecanter 95 Points \r\nJames Suckling 95 Points\r\nAbout Daou Vineyards\r\nGeorges and Daniel Daou are inseparable as brothers, best friends, and visionaries.

Industrious and driven to succeed, Georges and Daniel followed in their family\u2019s entrepreneurial footsteps and started their own company, Daou Systems, a networking technology company that would revolutionize hospital computer systems. In 1998, after taking Daou Systems public, Georges and Daniel sold the company, and a new dream arose, a dream For years, Daniel had been making wine in his garage in rural San Diego, tending to a one-acre vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon, and reading every book he could find about winemaking. He knew he was destined to be a winemaker and knew it was time to start a winery. Everyone told him he was crazy, but with Georges as his business partner, Daniel told his father, \u201cI\u2019m going to buy this property in Paso, and I want to become a winemaker, and I think I can make one of the best wines in the world.\u201d Without hesitation, his father said, \u201cGo and don\u2019t look back. Go full throttle.\u201d |
