Daou Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Dark and focused aromas of cherry, clove and caramel meet with creamy milk chocolate and mahogany on the layered nose of this bottling. Showing a deft mastery of tannins, which is the Daou hallmark, the palate is silky and yet structured, offering rich fruit and lightly bitter walnut flavors. [This will evolve through the early 2030s+.] Score – 95. (Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast, March 1, 2024)
