James Suckling Review Rated 93 Sweetly spiced and creamy yet with a vibrant core, this showcases opulent yet well-wrangled flavors of mashed autumn orchard fruit with warm vanilla, hazelnuts and white figs, as well as a seam of chalky minerality. The finish unfurls with layered elegance. Drink or hold.
Wine Tasting Notes
Daou Reserve Paso Robles Chardonnay offers a powerful nose of smoky oak, buttered toast and lemon chiffon. Green apple, vanilla bean and pear accents are rounded out with hints of honey, almond and nutmeg. Lush and succulent on the palate, delivering flavors of Crenshaw melon, pineapple and honeysuckle, with notes of citrus, spiced apple and hazelnut. A big and fleshy Chardonnay, exhibiting the great varietal character of this noble grape, holding its power through a rich, smooth and persistent finish.
