2022 Daou Patrimony Cabernet Sauvignon Adelaida District, Paso Robles

(98 Points) The flagship Cabernet, boasting a vivid ruby/purple hue, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a terrific nose of crème de cassis, violets, sweet flowers, spicy oak, and cigar box. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 30 months in new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with remarkable purity, ultra-fine tannins, and flawless balance. This is another brilliant wine from this estate. Drink 2025-2045.

I don’t think anyone is doing Bordeaux varieties in Paso Robles better than the Daou brothers, particularly with the top tier Patrimony label.  Jeb Dunnuck
