DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Plush Paso Merlot, Reserve Level.
DAOU Reserve Merlot 2022 is a reminder of just how good Merlot can be when it is grown in the warm, sunny hills of Paso Robles. Expect a generous, fruit forward red with ripe plum and black cherry, a mocha touch on the palate, and supple tannins that keep every sip smooth. It has the depth and richness of the DAOU Reserve range while staying approachable enough to open on a weeknight.
It's available by the single bottle or by the case of 6, so you can try one with dinner or keep a few on hand for gatherings and gifts. At 15% ABV, it's a full, satisfying Merlot with real presence.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Ripe plum and black cherry, with hints of mocha and warm spice rising from the glass
- Palate: Round and generous, dark plum and cherry fruit wrapped in a soft mocha richness, supported by supple, velvety tannins
- Finish: Smooth and lingering, with dark fruit and a gentle cocoa note that fades slowly
How to Enjoy
- Serving Temperature: Serve around 60 to 65°F. A few minutes in the fridge on a warm day helps keep it fresh and focused.
- Decanting: Optional. Twenty to thirty minutes of air softens it further and brings out the mocha notes.
- Food Pairings: Grilled steak, roast chicken with herbs, pork tenderloin, mushroom pasta, or a classic burger.
- Cozy Night In: Pour a glass with dark chocolate or a plate of charcuterie for an easy, indulgent pairing.
What Makes It Special
Brothers Georges and Daniel Daou founded DAOU as a family winery with a big goal: to show the world what Paso Robles can do. Their home base, DAOU Mountain in the Adelaida District, sits high on the west side of Paso Robles, where cool breezes and calcareous soils help shape wines with both ripeness and structure. The DAOU Reserve tier is where the brothers showcase that potential across several varieties, and the Reserve Merlot brings the same care and attention usually reserved for Cabernet. The result is a Merlot with real depth, soft texture, and plenty of dark fruit, a smart pick for anyone who loves a smooth red that still feels special.
