Golden in color, hints of green apple, lemon zest, orange peel and a nice acidity. Full bodied but not overly oaked. The finish lingers. Drinking nicely. — a month ago

Found this gem winery when we visited Santa Maria Valley. Lovely Chardonnay with subtle pear, apricot, stone fruits and a light acidity. The finish has some length. Will visit again. — 15 days ago
88% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Petit Verdot and 2% Merlot. Intensely concentrated black fruits, baking spices and a beautiful arrangement of florals. Simply elegant. — a month 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. — 2 months ago
Helping a chef with a Smith Madrone tasting. This is a very nice Riesling that exhibits apples, peach and some bartlett pear. Just a bit of acidity and you will get a fair hint of oil on the nose, not in a bad way. We gave it a good 1 hr decant and didn't serve it too chilled. Light acidity and a full mouthfeel. 7 year bottle aged and drinking nicely. — a month 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. — 2 months ago

Floral and hints of spice. Soft tannins and a medium finish. Very drinkable but not going to blow you away. Need food to make this stand out. — 12 days ago
