Wake up folks, and smell the rose!

Why havent we made the obvious connection between the 100% Grenache Noir Rose produced by the Daou brothers and our discriminating taste buds and seasoned palates?

The answer is obvious we havent tried this American-based, Paso made, Provencal style Rose yet.

Think value, like a Familie Perrin Provencal Rose. Think style, like a 100% Grenache rose produced by Gerard Bertrand like his Cotes du Roses.
With 2023 Daou Rose scoring 92 points with Wine Enthusiast, it is not a baby at 13.7% abv.
The mostly loamy and fine soils ofSan Juan Creek and theEl Pomar District aremicroclimates that are vastly different, enabling Daou tobuild natural diversity and complexity into the wines flavor profile.

The overall qualityof the 2023 vintage is exceptional.The wines have retained freshness andnatural acidity while displaying beautiful flavor development.

Delicate aromas of peach, apricot, mango and lemony vanilla are accompanied by floral hints of hibiscus and honeysuckle on the nose.

The palate is perfectly poised, balancing light and airy textures with a lush, crisp juiciness.

Flavors of nectarine, papaya and Crenshaw melon reveal lingering notes of apple and citrus zest, all converging into a clean, silky finish.

Think Spring flowers and Easter Egg hunts! Enjoy!
