WINE DESCRIPTION

DAOU Bodyguard is a premium red wine produced by DAOU Vineyards, a renowned winery located in the Paso Robles appellation of California. The wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Syrah grapes, sourced from the estate's high-altitude vineyards. The vineyards are characterized by their rocky soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. DAOU Bodyguard is a perfect choice for those seeking a bold and complex wine that showcases the best of Paso Robles terroir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This bold Cabernet Sauvignon from DAOU Vineyards is a powerhouse of flavor and complexity.Its nose is full of notes of dark berries and currants, accented with hints of spice. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with a dense core of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and cassis, complemented by a hint of earthy minerality and sweet oak.

ORIGINS

Winery: DAOU

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
