Daou Patrimony Adelaida District Paso Robles Cabernet 2022 Rated 98+JD

Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 98
The flagship Cabernet, boasting a vivid ruby/purple hue, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a terrific nose of crème de cassis, violets, sweet flowers, spicy oak, and cigar box. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 30 months in new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with remarkable purity, ultra-fine tannins, and flawless balance. This is another brilliant wine from this estate. Drink 2025-2045.
