Daou 2010 Soul of a Lion Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $100
Based on Cabernet Sauvignon, this Bordeaux-style blend will make you take a second look at Paso Robles. It’s softly tannic and enormously complex, offering waves of black cherries, currants, licorice, mocha and sweet oak. Really beautiful to drink now, and should develop bottle complexities over the next six years.

Daou 2010 Chemin de Fleurs White (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
A blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Viognier, this is a powerfully rich wine, with flavors of pears, peaches, mangos, oranges and almost any other fruit you can name. Thankfully, it’s dryish, with a creamy texture and a spicy finish. Almost a food group in itself, it suggests pairing with strongly flavored, umami-rich dishes.

Daou 2009 Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $42
Rich and ripe in fruit, in the way of many Paso Robles reds. Offers forward blackberry, blueberry and cocoa flavors, sprinkled with pepper, and a few overripe notes of raisin. The alcohol is quite high, but balanced. One minor quibble is excessive softness.

Daou 2009 Micho Red (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $42
Made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine certainly isn’t shy on flavor. It’s explosive in blackberries, currants, mushu plum sauce, licorice and sandalwood flavors that are frankly delicious. Could have better structure, though, as it’s fairly soft and a little warm on the finish. Drink now.

- Online Exclusive
- $28
Ripe, soft and oaky, with gentle, sweet flavors of blackberry, blueberry and cherry jam, mocha and toast. Easy to drink now with a great grilled steak.
