Reserve

2009 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

The Daou Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2009 vintage exudes a remarkable depth of character, showcasing the rich potential of the Paso Robles region. This full-bodied red wine presents an inviting hue that captures the essence of its boldness. On the palate, the wine exhibits a pronounced acidity that complements its robust structure, creating an invigorating balance. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry, and subtle hints of cocoa, while the tannins are notably firm and well-integrated, adding to the wine's complexity. As a dry wine, it invites appreciation with every sip, making it a delightful companion for hearty dishes or an indulgent evening by the fireplace.

Central Coast
Central Coast

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.
