Wine Enthusiast rated it 93 points and suggested drinking it through 2035.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA serious Merlot for collectors and a fine gift for red wine lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose petal, plum, blackberry jam, cooked strawberry, black cherry and baking spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark cherry, toasted nuts and herbs, with firm tannins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e DAOU Family Estates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merlot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 months in French oak, 50% new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paso Robles, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.7%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecant for 30 to 60 minutes and serve at about 60 to 65°F.
