Patrimony 2020 DAOU Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 1.5L

The Patrimony 2020 DAOU Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles presents itself with a deep, inviting ruby color, enticing the senses from the moment it's poured. On the nose, it reveals a captivating bouquet of ripe cassis, luscious blueberry, vibrant pomegranate, and succulent currants, offering a harmonious blend of fruity aromas. Delicate nuances of tobacco, indulgent chocolate, and aromatic toasted spices follow, adding layers of complexity and depth. Upon tasting, the palate is treated to a full-bodied and opulent experience, where concentrated fruit flavors intertwine seamlessly with refreshing acidity. The wine's richness is perfectly balanced by the smooth integration of oak, leading to a lingering finish that delights with indulgent notes of blackberry jam, velvety cacao, and luxurious mocha.

Robert Parker - 94 Points

"The 2020 Patrimony Cabernet Sauvignon was matured for 30 months in 100% new French oak. It takes time in the glass to give way from tar and graphite to reveal notes of licorice, violet, juniper and spearmint. The full-bodied palate is opulent with its concentrated core of dark fruit. It has powdery tannins and just enough acidity. It's somewhat coiled and less expressive due to the challenges of the vintage, and I would be inclined to drink it on the earlier side."
