| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nThe 2022 vintage delivers yet another bewitching blend with trademark Pessimist flair. An intensely aromatic nose begins with fragrances of blueberry, boysenberry and black plum. Deeper layers reveal lavender, truffle, cocoa and tamarind spice with hints of cherry pipe tobacco, leather, mint and smoked meats. A bright, vibrant palate offers generous flavors of black cherry, cranberry, cr\u00e8me de cassis and pomegranate. Notes of lilac, anise and black olive complement the rich fruit while the mouth is flooded with lush, silky textures. Lingering accents of blueberry and raspberry round out this elegantly balanced wine.\r\nBlend: 60% Petite Sirah, 22% Zinfandel, 16% Syrah, 2% Lagrein\r\nWine Enthusiast 92 Points\r\nAbout Daou\r\nGeorges and Daniel Daou are inseparable as brothers, best friends, and visionaries. Daou is the realization of their childhood dream and a testament to the timeless bonds of love and family. In the early 1980s, Georges and Daniel moved to California to pursue their American dream.\u00a0The brothers enrolled at Uc San Diego and studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. 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 |
