DEEP COVER: Patrimony is BACK!

“In pursuit of excellence, no expense is spared at DAOU. Think of it like a Michelin three-star restaurant: no detail goes unnoticed and no shortcuts are taken.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

We managed to secure just a little more of the 2021. AND if you’ve had it, you know – The sheer OMG factor here cannot be overstated… If you’ve had the 2020 or the 2019 we offered before, this one ups both.

Newly crowned with 99-points, this wine is a POWERHOUSE!

Sometimes you wonder if “this wine is worth it” and the answer here is an unequivocal YES. It routinely scores in the 95-100 range, and this one landed near perfection at 99-points. From the ideal 2021 vintage, the scores are still coming in, so who knows if it may get a notch higher?

Doesn’t matter really, it’s PATRIMONY Cab we’re talking about here. The big daddy.

At this level, perfection is a subjective thing, splitting hairs really. 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. At DAOU 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.

Like Vinous says, “Napa, Bordeaux, and Cabernet Sauvignon lovers should take note because, while far from inexpensive, these wines still offer tremendous relative value.”

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

99 Points – The Tasting Panel “A dynamic attention-getter, this sturdy, architecturally brilliant red keeps the palate alert with a firm grip. Dusky heather, roasted coffee, graphite and new leather are formidable textures and flavors. Fleshy and opulent, its boldness is unbound, and its age-ability unlimited.”
