Patrimony Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Review
When Daniel and Georges Daou moved to the United States from Paris, they did not land in Napa. They came to the wind gaps of Paso Robles. Just like blacksmith John Howell claimed Howell Mountain in the Vaca range bordering Napa Valley, so too did the Daou brothers claim Daou Mountain in Paso. The rest is history. Daou has many wines in their line up, but Patrimony is a separate project and it is producing some amazing stuff. This cab is big and soft with plush fruit that is dominated by tannin. The drying effect is pretty intense with this wine. It could see another year or so in the bottle or decanted and sipped with a steak.
