| Description: | Winemaker NotesThis vintage is the epitome of a terroir-driven wine that has immense power without sacrificing any elegance. The wine explodes out of the glass with boysenberry fruit, crème de cassis, cedar, cigars, crushed stone and lead pencil accompanied by a perfume of violets. Deep and full-bodied, rich with astonishing texture, it manages to stay fresh and balanced throughout with a finish that does not stop. Critical AcclaimTasting Panel - 99ptsDaniel Daou's success in producing classics in Paso Robles' Adelaida District continues. Sipping this wine is akin to taking a swan dive into a satin-rimmed, bottom- Hess lake of boysenberry and crushed violets. Up on the surface, chalky limestone tannins have the texture and flavor-of baker's chocolate and graphite. Juicy plum and a wealth of balsamic- and cedar- blessed fruit generously spreads on the finish.Jeb Dunnuck 99ptsThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon continues to show brilliantly. (i rated it 97-100 from barrel last year.) It has a quintessential Cabernet nose of pure crème de cassis, crushed stone, lead pencil, graphite, and tobacco that gains depth and richness with time in the glass. Deep, full-bodied, rich, and incredibly textured, yet still fresh, light on its feet, and beautifully balanced, this gorgeous Cabernet shows what's possible with the variety from Paso Robles.Decanter - 98ptsA benchmark California Cabernet Sauvignon which showcases the strength and tenacity of this revered grape. On the nose, a juxtaposition of expressive, bright fruit plus a grounded earthiness. The delicacy yet force of this wine creates a most pleasant tension that you seek to reconcile with each sip. Flavours of blackberry, bramble and dark chocolate sit side by side with floral and sweet cedar notes. Tannins display laser-sharp integration. A wine with thoughtful, intentional power.James Suckling- 95ptsDeep, rich and plush on the nose showing cassis, blackberries with hints of dark olives, fennel, dark chocolate, cigar box and elderberry characters. Full-bodied and fleshy on the palate with an abundance of tannins, which are extremely fine-grained. Restrainedly opulent, deep, structured and long. |
