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.

Region:


Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
