title: Daou 2012 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
description: A very high-toned, wound-up nose slowly reveals chalky aromas, concentrated purple fruit and crushed violets on this bottling by the Daou brothers. The palate is also tight and slow to release, with hints of dark chocolate chips, espresso bean and black fruit lingering behind a walls of tannins and bright acidity. This will age well, but certainly wait a little longer to open.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
