Daou Vineyards Daou Bodyguard 2022 750ml

Very dark in the glass, this bold blend offers aromas of charred walnut, espresso bean, cassis and fudge on the nose. There is a firm grip to the quite savory palate, where prominent woodspice aromas meet with more coffee as well as charred plum and cassis flavors. (Matt Kettmann)

Toasted pecan, baked blackberry and cardamom aromas make for a soothing nose on this bottling. The palate is toasty as well, with espresso bean, blackberry and pepper flavors. (Matt Kettmann)
