Sequentis

Paso Robles Merlot

Daou Sequentis Merlot from Paso Robles is a captivating red wine that embodies the rich essence of this renowned winegrowing region. The robust, full-bodied character of this Merlot is immediately apparent, revealing a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and supple tannins. Each sip offers a vivid display of dark fruit flavors — think ripe blackcurrant and juicy plum — complemented by subtle hints of tobacco and spice, which add complexity and depth to the wine. The fruit intensity is prominent, ensuring a memorable experience with every taste. Paso Robles, known for its warm days and cool nights, provides an ideal mesoclimate that allows the grapes to develop magnificent structure and flavor. This delightful Merlot not only showcases the exceptional terroir of Paso Robles but is also a testament to Daou's meticulous winemaking practices and dedication to quality. The result is a refined, yet approachable wine that satisfies and excites the palate.

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.
