Dear %%FIRST%%,
The moment that we first set eyes on DAOU Mountain nine years ago, we knew that the Adelaida District of Paso Robles would become the world’s next benchmark for Cabernet Sauvignon. Ever since, our vision has been met with convincing affirmation, most recently in the following Wine Enthusiast reviews for two cornerstone estate wines—DAOU Estate Soul of A Lion and DAOU Estate Mayote. We are ever grateful for the chance to share this land and its blessings with you.
À votre santé.

It’s no surprise that the Daou brothers blend of 45% Syrah, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Petit Verdot packs a rich blueberry, dark chocolate and espresso nose. Nor is the lush mouthfeel, the grippy, fine-grained tannins, or the the black cherry, stewed beef and black peppercorn flavor profile particularly shocking. It’s just another massive, delicious and dark wine from their portfolio. —M.K

Deep, lavish and creamy aromas of fudge, espresso, cola, vanilla and perfectly ripe black currants and berries greet the nose with measured force. The wine lands on the palate with aplomb, framed by silky yet grippy tannins and boasting flavors of espresso, dense blueberry, black peppercorn, bay leaf and pencil shavings. The woody angles will intensify with age; drink 2018– 2032. —M.K.
