“The Daou wines can stand up to many of the best Napa wines and, although far from inexpensive, they sell for quite a bit less than those of similar or lesser quality from up north.” – Vinous

The sheer OMG factor here cannot be overstated… sometimes you wonder if “this wine is worth it” and the answer here is an unequivocal YES. It routinely scores upwards of 100 points, this vintage, while just a newborn, is no different.

It’s been called “a sensational Cabernet Sauvignon that can stand up the best out there.” One that is “unbelievably ripe, pixelated frame and fantastic juiciness… this is stunning” and “as I’ve said in the past, these wines compete with the best of Napa Valley and are some of the leading Bordeaux blends from Paso Robles” because “there’s no one else making Cabernet like this in Paso Robles!”

DAOU’s flagship Patrimony will deconstruct your ideas about the limits of winemaking around the globe, and then reassemble them into an altogether new reference point of understanding.

They spare NO expense. The barrel program uses the absolute best - Taransaud T5 for example is a very pricey option that few producers have the luxury to use.

Indulge your senses… who knows what tomorrow brings let alone the next couple of hours!

97-100 Points – Jeb Dunnuck

“These are the real deal and consistently rank with the finest Bordeaux varieties coming out of California today. The 2019 Patrimony Cabernet Sauvignon continues to show brilliantly. It has a quintessential Cabernet nose of pure crème de cassis, crushed stone, lead pencil, graphite, and tobacco that gains depth and richness with time in the glass. Deep, full-bodied, rich, and incredibly textured, yet still fresh, light on its feet, and beautifully balanced, this gorgeous Cabernet shows what’s possible with the variety from Paso Robles.”

99 Points – The Tasting Panel

“Explodes with youthful boysenberry fruit and violet perfume, with a blackcurrant core and very classy notions of pencil shavings, cedar, bay leaves and cigars. The palate is full-bodied and packed with ripe, mineral-laced fruits in a firm, finely grained and fresh frame, and it finishes long.”
