Aux

2013 Paso Robles Syrah; Grenache; Mourvedre

Daou Aux is a captivating red wine from the renowned Paso Robles region, celebrated for its blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre varietals. This wine showcases a deep purple hue, inviting you into its rich and engaging character. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance with full-bodied depth complemented by pronounced acidity that keeps the experience lively. The fruit intensity is prominent, delivering delightful notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, along with subtle undertones of spice and earthiness. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone without overwhelming the overall flavor profile. With a dry finish, Daou Aux makes for an excellent companion to hearty dishes and can be enjoyed now or gracefully aged for future indulgence.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
