Hand-harvested grapes undergo native fermentation, followed by 10 months in 50% new French oak to weave vanilla, cedar and tobacco into the bold fruit core without heaviness. Opaque purple in hue, it balances power with elegance, reflecting the region's diurnal shifts.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eNose: Blueberry, boysenberry, black plum, lavender, truffle, cocoa, tamarind spice, cherry pipe tobacco, leather, mint and smoked meats.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003ePalate: Bright and generous black cherry, cranberry, crème de cassis, pomegranate, lilac, anise and black olive with lush, silky mouthfeel.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eFinish: Dry, sustained and elegantly balanced with lingering blueberry, raspberry and subtle spice.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWine Enthusiast rated Daou Pessimist Red Blend 2022 at 92 points, praising its intensely aromatic nose of blueberry, boysenberry and black plum with deeper layers of lavender, truffle and cocoa, and a vibrant palate flooded with lush, silky textures.
