Patrimony 2017 DAOU Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 375ml

Patrimony 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon presents a dark, vibrant purple color with powerful, expressive aromas of cherry liqueur, cassis, vanilla, and rose oil, enriched by subtle notes of pipe tobacco and smoky oak. On the palate, this wine reveals deep layers of oak-spiced dark berry preserves, cherry pie, and mocha, balanced by a lively acidity that gives it impressive energy. The texture is velvety and plush, with densely packed tannins that enhance the wine's youthful character. The finish is long, spicy, and persistent, promising continued development over the next 15+ years.

Robert Parker - 97 Points

"The 2017 Patrimony is aging at a leisurely pace—it takes time in the glass to unfold to rich blackberry pie, roasted coffee, chargrill and a shimmery streak of graphite. The velvety palate is packed with sweet berry fruit and savory accents and finishes tightly wound. It's barely nudged in bottle this year and will continue to develop over the next 15+ years."

Antonio Galloni - 97 Points

"Dark, bright-rimmed purple. Powerful, highly expressive scents of cherry liqueur, cassis, fruitcake, vanilla and rose oil; pipe tobacco and smoky oak nuances add complexity. Deeply concentrated, oak-spiced dark berry preserve, cherry pie and mocha flavors stain the palate, and an undercurrent of juicy acidity conveys an impressively energetic quality. Plush, densely packed and extremely young, finishing with powerful, spicy thrust, youthfully chewy tannins and striking persistence."
