Daou Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2014 (750ML)

93 WA / 91-93 VM

93 Points The Wine Advocate: There's roughly a thousand cases of the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, and this 100% Cabernet offers full-bodied, ripe and voluptuous notes of creme de cassis, black currants, coffee beans and ample sweet oak. It has a serious, tightly wound and tannic feel, and will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and have 10-15 years of overall longevity. - Jeb Dunnuck

91-93 Points Vinous Media: Bright purple. Deeply pitched aromas of cherry pit, black raspberry, licorice and woodsmoke, with a mineral element adding vivacity. Broad, palate-staining dark berry flavors show very good depth and power, with a spicy nuance providing lift and cut. This focused, spicy wine finishes with strong cut and harmonious, gripping tannins. - Josh Reynolds
