Just enough spice to make this enjoyable. Still a bit young and needs more time to soften the tannins, but it was a great pairing with a smoked brisket. — 2 months ago
I was looking for a crowd pleaser for a bunch of people on Christmas Eve. Citrus notes with green apple and butterscotch. I prefer a little more oak, but it's drinkable at the price point. — 5 months ago
Found this gem of a winery on a trip to Santa Ynez. This limited Rosé is a nice blend of citrus and acidity. Notes of rose petal, grapefruit and lemon zest. The Limited Rosé is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Vermentino. This is a must visit if you're in the area. — 5 days ago
Met the "Blue Eyed Boy" at a Colleyville TX tasting and ended up hosting him at the house. Gave it the shake and The Boxer opens with loads of fruit, blueberry, leather, cassis. Big tannins but they won't bite you. Love the spicy finish. Very drinkable now and a in a few years. G'Day Luke. — 5 months ago
Beautiful Far Niente family Cab. Friendly fruit forward cab with an abundance of spice. Inky in the glass, red and black berries plus a hint of leather and cedar mid palate. Good balance and brightness with a softer tannin finish. — 8 days ago
Wonderful notes of custard and a hint of lemon. Needed a little time and the minerality moved to a nice elegant acidity. I'm rescinding my first rating and moving this over the Mendoza line. Drinking nicely. — 17 days ago
Dark garnet in the glass. Opens with berries galore. Blackberries, plum, cedar and black licorice. I waited a bit on this and the tannins have softened. Glad I did. Has nice balance and a nice earthiness to it. — 4 months ago

Love the inky color out of the bottle. Loads of black currant, leather, tobacco and dark chocolate. The lengthy finish gives me some cherry and plum. One of my best Daou wines in the lineup. Varietal: 58% Petit Verdot, 42% Petite Sirah. — 4 days ago
