Reserve

2010 Paso Robles Zinfandel

Daou Reserve is a captivating expression of Zinfandel from the renowned Paso Robles region, showcasing the unique terroir and climate that this area is famous for. This vintage presents a beautifully rich red color that hints at its intensity. The wine is full-bodied, offering a mouthwatering experience with a notable acidity that balances its delicious fruit-forward character. Ripe blackberries and juicy plums dominate the palate, framed by subtle hints of spice and vanilla from oak aging. The tannins are structured yet approachable, providing a firm backbone while still allowing the vibrant fruit to shine. This delightful Zinfandel is dry, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes such as grilled meats or rich pasta. Enjoying a glass of this Gold Medal-winning wine is sure to elevate any occasion.

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.
