Description
Rich, deep, dark berry color with creamy mocha-espresso flavors is the first impression of the Daou Cabernet Sauvignon. The tannins are well integrated with the fruit and create a long finish that keeps going and going. This Paso Robles Cabernet is full-bodied with a saturated finish while accompanied by bright acidity and infused by black current and cooked blueberry fruit. Balanced and intense, it showcases exactly how Bordeaux varietals can perform when managed correctly.
The perfect glass for enjoying this Cabernet Sauvignon is the Riedel Vinum Bordeaux/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot glass. This glass is best for young, full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully, and brings out the fruit of the wine. The shape directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thus accentuating the fruit and de-emphasizing the bitter qualities of the tannins.
Each glass stands 8 7/8" high and holds 21 1/2 oz. This gift not only features Daou Vineyard's Cabernet Sauvignon but also two elegant, lead crystal glasses to make any wine moment simply perfect.
