Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Quintessential varietal character abounds in the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc. Classic aromas of wet grass, pineapple, lemon chiffon and gooseberry are accented by hints of grapefruit, kiwi and lime. Subtle notes of lemongrass and green apple round out the layered and balanced nose. A crisp, zesty palate presents vibrant tropical flavors of pineapple, papaya and dragon fruit. The mouthfeel is full and round, offering secondary layers of melon and quince supported by a solid lemon-lime core. Notes of juicy pineapple, guava, citrus, and green apple emerge on a clean, exuberant finish.

    Light aromas of Asian pear are cut by sharp, while pleasant, scents of cut grass on the nose of this bottling. There's a vibrancy to the fresh and bright palate, where green pear and grass flavors align.

    25% Semillon. Governed from beginning to end by slightly juicy well-ripened fruit that smacks of fresh melons and pears with a trim of vanillin richness, this fairly full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc takes a marked turn away from the grassy and herbaceous traits of which the variety can be prone. It inclines to slightly gylceriny lushness to start then shows just the right degree of structural firmness on the palate and with rich, long-lasting flavors that exhibit fine fruity volume and weight.

    COMMENTARY: The 2021 DAOU Discovery Collection Sauvignon Blanc is appealing, delightful, and focused on its varietal character. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of light spices, light floral notes, and sandalwood. Pair it with linguine and clams in a creamy white wine reduction sauce.

Brothers Georges Daou and Daniel Daou set forth across the globe to find an unrivaled terroir for producing Cabernet Sauvignon, a quest that led them to a place of foretold greatness: DAOU Mountain in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles. DAOU Family Estates is a family owned and operated winery committed to producing collectible, world-class wine to rival the most respected appellations. Situated on a 212-acre hilltop estate in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, this remarkable mountain was once described by André Tchelistcheff, legendary winemaking authority, as "a jewel of ecological elements."

DAOU Mountain stands alone at an elevation of 2,200 feet, rising from the heart of the Adelaida District in the rugged coastal range west of Paso Robles. The steep slopes here reach up to 56 percent, with uniform exposure to the elements across the estate. It is a terroir of power, purity, and symmetry with every natural asset necessary to pursue the perfect Cabernet Sauvignon—including calcareous clay soils that emulate Bordeaux’s Right Bank and a climate that mirrors St. Helena.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
