Cabernet Sauvignon

2012 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

The Daou Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the renowned Paso Robles region in California is a stunning representation of this classic varietal. This full-bodied red wine exhibits a deep, rich color, inviting you to explore its complex character. With high acidity that brings a delightful liveliness to the palate, it balances beautifully with the prominent fruit intensity, showcasing flavors of dark berries, plum, and touches of chocolate. The tannins are notable and structured, contributing to a satisfying mouthfeel that lingers after every sip. This wine is also dry, allowing the richness of its flavors to shine without being overshadowed. The 2012 vintage offers a mature elegance, making it a splendid choice for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions.

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.
