DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Right Bank Inspiration, Paso Robles Soul.
DAOU Reserve Seventeen Forty 2022 takes its cue from the great wines of Saint-Emilion, where Cabernet Franc and Merlot share the spotlight. Here, Cabernet Franc drives the blend with a complement of Merlot, producing a wine that pours an opaque ruby-purple and opens with aromas of violets, blueberry, dried sage, and bay leaf. The name honors the year 1740, a date tied to the Daou family heritage.
Pick up a single bottle for a special dinner or stock up with a case of 6 for the cellar, the holidays, or gifting. At 15% ABV, it brings the richness you expect from the DAOU Reserve tier.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Violets and fresh blueberry lead, layered with dried sage and bay leaf for a savory, herbal lift
- Palate: Dark blue and black fruit framed by the herbal character of Cabernet Franc, with Merlot adding a rounder, plusher middle
- Finish: Long and savory, with lingering blueberry, a touch of dried herbs, and a polished tannic grip
How to Enjoy
- Serving Temperature: Serve slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F, so the floral and herbal aromas stay bright.
- Decanting: Give it 30 to 45 minutes in a decanter to let the blueberry fruit and savory notes fully open up.
- Food Pairings: Herb crusted lamb, braised short ribs, mushroom risotto, or duck. The sage and bay notes love rosemary, thyme, and earthy sauces.
- Cheese Board: Aged Gouda, Comté, or a firm sheep's milk cheese with dried fruit and toasted nuts.
What Makes It Special
DAOU was founded by brothers Georges and Daniel Daou, who planted their family winery on DAOU Mountain in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles. Their high elevation estate is known for calcareous soils suited to Bordeaux varieties. Seventeen Forty shows a different side of that ambition. Rather than following the Cabernet Sauvignon path, it looks to the Right Bank of Bordeaux and puts Cabernet Franc in the lead role, delivering a wine that is aromatic, savory, and layered. It is a rare chance to taste Paso Robles through a Saint-Emilion lens.
