Clone 412

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Daou Clone 412 Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles is a striking wine that exudes sophistication and depth. Rich and full-bodied, this wine captivates the senses with its vibrant, deep garnet hue. The bouquet is an aromatic marvel, revealing layers of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a hint of menthol interwoven with nuances of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, it demonstrates remarkable balance, presenting lively and mouthwatering acidity that perfectly complements its robust, structured tannins. The fruit intensity is pronounced, showcasing a delightful medley of ripe blackberry, cassis, and plum, elevated by subtle undertones of mocha and vanilla. This Cabernet Sauvignon is both powerful and elegant, a true representation of Paso Robles' esteemed winegrowing prowess.

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.
