This stunning mountaintop winery in the Adelaida district made a huge splash when it opened its doors in 2010, initially for the lavishness of its architecture, which was unknown in the area at the time and reminded many people more of Napa than of Paso Robles. That was quickly followed by the sheer quality of the winemaking, overseen by Daniel Daou, who started and continues to run the project with his brother, Georges and now Daniel’s daughter, Lizzy. This year’s releases are true to the Daou style, with opulent, highly expressive fruit, polished oak treatment and discreet tannins. Like all of the Daou wines, they will be deceptively approachable when young, but they unquestionably possess the depth, underlying structure and balance to age gracefully. The Napa comparison can be extended to the wines here as well as the setting, but the muscle of Paso fruit is an integral component and, especially, the value that they offer by comparison, even if most of them are far from cheap. Still, considering the buying power of a dollar in Napa these days, it’s hard to deny that, relatively speaking, it goes quite far here.
