Bodyguard Red Blend 2022 exemplifies Daou's innovative approach, led by Chief Winemaker Daniel Daou with a Petit Verdot-Petite Sirah core that achieves harmony from Paso Robles' limestone-rich sites. Hand-harvested grapes from sustainable vineyards undergo native yeast fermentation and traditional Bordeaux techniques, followed by 10 months in 50% new French oak to integrate structure and subtle vanilla-cedar nuances. The deep garnet result balances bold fruit with finesse, showcasing the region's warm-climate ripeness and cool-breeze freshness.​

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Ripe plum, berry compote, blackberry and clove, with hints of pine, cedar, vanilla, toasted pecan, baked blackberry and cardamom.​

  • Palate: Juicy and velvety with layers of mixed berry, blueberry, graphite, dark chocolate, blackberry, espresso bean and pepper, plus integrated medium acidity.​

  • Finish: Dry, sustained and silky with bright tannins, hazelnut, cedar and lingering fruit-spice balance.​

Awards and Accolades
Wine Enthusiast rated Daou Bodyguard Red Blend 2022 at 93 points, noting "toasted pecan, baked blackberry and cardamom aromas" on the nose and a toasty palate of "espresso bean, blackberry and pepper flavors." Decanter awarded 90 points, describing it as full-bodied, ripe and generous with pronounced dark fruit, plums, cherries, blackberry compote, vanilla and sweet spice on a tannic frame.​

Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 16–18°C after 30–60 minutes decanting to soften tannins and unfold aromas. Pairs with grilled steak, lamb, barbecue ribs, smoked meats or hard cheeses; cellars well through 2031, developing more savory tobacco-leather notes.​
