🍷🍷 Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Brilliant pale gold with luminous straw and subtle green-gold reflections, displaying both youthful freshness and the richness expected from a serious barrel-aged white wine.
Aroma:
Elegant and increasingly complex as it opens, revealing layers of lemon peel, grapefruit, white peach, and ripe pear. Honeysuckle and delicate white flowers provide aromatic lift, while subtle toasted almond, vanilla, crushed stone, and refined oak add depth.
Palate:
Rich, precise, and beautifully structured:
Meyer lemon and citrus zest provide a vibrant opening
White peach contributes ripe stone-fruit richness
Pear adds softness and texture
Grapefruit introduces refreshing acidity
Sauvignon Blanc provides freshness, energy, and aromatic intensity
Sémillon contributes body, texture, and depth
Honeysuckle and jasmine add elegant floral complexity
Toasted almond introduces a sophisticated nutty character
Refined French oak provides richness without overwhelming the fruit
Mineral undertones contribute tension and structure
Bright acidity keeps the concentrated palate remarkably fresh
The combination of richness and acidity gives the wine impressive aging potential
Finish:
Long, polished, and persistent, with lingering citrus, white peach, toasted almond, floral notes, mineral freshness, and refined oak. The finish balances richness with mouthwatering acidity, leaving the palate fresh despite the wine's considerable concentration.
DAOU 2022 PATRIMONY Blanc is far more than a traditional California Sauvignon Blanc. With its Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon composition, mountain-grown fruit, luxurious French oak élevage, limited production, and serious cellar potential, it represents PATRIMONY's ambitious interpretation of a world-class Bordeaux-style white—a compelling bottle for collectors seeking one of the most distinctive luxury white wines produced in Paso Robles.
Description
DAOU 2022 PATRIMONY Blanc (750mL) — An Extraordinary Estate-Grown Bordeaux-Style White from DAOU Mountain
Experience the rare white-wine expression of one of Paso Robles' most prestigious estates with DAOU 2022 PATRIMONY Blanc, an exceptionally limited Bordeaux-inspired white wine crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grown on the remarkable PATRIMONY Estate.
Situated high on DAOU Mountain in Paso Robles' Adelaida District, PATRIMONY represents Daniel and Georges Daou's pursuit of world-class wines capable of standing alongside the great estates of Bordeaux and Napa Valley. The mountain's elevation, calcareous soils, dramatic temperature shifts, and meticulous viticulture create fruit with remarkable concentration while retaining the freshness and acidity essential to an age-worthy white wine.
PATRIMONY Blanc brings that philosophy to Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, creating a sophisticated white that moves well beyond the light, refreshing style typically associated with Sauvignon Blanc. Rich texture and concentrated fruit meet vibrant acidity, citrus, stone fruit, floral nuances, toasted nuts, and sophisticated oak influence to create a wine with both immediate appeal and serious cellar potential.
