Daou ROSE Paso Robles 2022 750ml
Made from Grenache grapes in the classic Provençale style, the 2021 Rosé of Grenache presents a pale flamingo-apricot hue and a fragrant, floral nose. Aromas of freshly sliced peaches, hibiscus and hyacinth reveal accents of nectarine and orange zest. Hints of honeysuckle, orange blossom, crushed rose petal and pineapple round out the enticing bouquet. The palate is exceptionally clean and refreshing, with flavors of peach, mango, apricot, and honeydew melon accompanied by notes of lemon chiffon, apricot, papaya and kiwi. A long, luxuriant finish lingers with juicy essences of peach, strawberry and cherry.
Decanter 91 points Strawberries, peaches, apricots and white flowers on the nose give way to pink grapefruit and red berries on the palate. A refreshing and dynamic Provence-style rosé with elegant vanilla notes from the oak treatment. Food-friendly and versatile. Drinking 2023 -2025 — Brianne Cohen
