Reviews and Ratings

From the Paso Robles wine region, Daou Vineyards 2018 is a full-bodied, youthful 78% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance in Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Deep, dark ruby in the glass, this California Cab is meaty, mouth-watering and intense with cassis, cedar spice and dried savoury herbs finishing fresh and long on the palate. Tannins are fine-grained frame and ripe. The wine matured 11 months in French oak barrels (60% new). - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
