Syrah

2005 Paso Robles Syrah

The Daou Vineyards Syrah from the 2005 vintage is a magnificent representation of the Paso Robles region. This red wine exhibits a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its richness. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the overall freshness and vibrancy of the wine. With notable tannins, it possesses a structured mouthfeel that promises excellent aging potential. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious flavors of dark berries, black cherry, and hints of pepper and spice. This powerful, dry delight is truly a testament to the exceptional terroir of Paso Robles and stands out as a remarkable offering from Daou Vineyards.

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.
