2017 Daou Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, USA (750ml)

Product Info

TASTING NOTES:

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a solid step up, revealing a saturated purple color, fresh, vibrant notes of blueberries, black raspberries, violets, and ample chalky minerality, medium to full body, and just beautiful overall balance and purity. It’s the real deal and a seriously good Cabernet in the making.

At this early stage, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve seems to be even more promising than the 2016, opening in the glass with aromas of dark berries and damson, without any trace of its time in new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, concentrated and intense. Rich and layered, there's a lot of substance here, but it's replete with sappy energy. This could easily turn out to be the best Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve to date.
