Pale yellow Green apple, mango, lemon, wet gravel Mango, apricot, lemon, metallic Surprisingly sweet fruit flavors initially on the palate which gives way to more citrus and acid after a bit. Bright juicy acidity with moderate tannins for a sauv blanc. Refreshing and light. I wish the tropical flavors lasted longer.

2022 Austin Food & Wine Festival; 11/5/2022-11/6/2022 (Vic Mathais Auditorium Shores, Austin, TX) : Gooseberry, elderberry, cut grass, and asparagus. Acidity adds balance, but sputters on the finish.

A really nice Sauvignon blanc, medium body, just enough oak, good fruit, drank with pasta with shrimp and veggies, good value, will drink again, Daou wines are usually pretty good.

Once again this is a really supple and softer mouthfeel wine. It is aromatic with lemon and citrus dominating the aromas. In mouth the wine is lemon, mild amounts of grapefruit, certainly citrus and mostly grassy notes.

Starts smooth but a bit of a jagged edge. Mild flavor but slightly fruity. A little to bitter for me

Light and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc. Nose of lime and floral notes. Pale gold in the glass. Hint of lemon/lime, apple and tropical fruits on the palate. Slightly sweet but nicely offset by the tartness of the lime and lemon. Very good QPR at $13 a bottle. WA 92 and WE 90

A good value Sauv Blanc at $14 but a little thin on flavour & non-existent mouthfeel. Slight lemon, grassiness and minerality. Not likely a repeat for us.

Light gold in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of lemons/limes & grapefruit with overtones of floral & mineral notes & a slight hint of grassiness. Light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of apples, lemons/limes & grapefruit with minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present. Straight forward without a lot of complexity but very good QPR when found at discount.

Bottled under screwcap, Daou's 2020 Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc is a limpid, pale yellow offering that serves up far more on the herbal side than on the fruit side. Chervil, basil and mint exert a heavier hand than the lime and lychee that lurk in the background. Light-bodied, freshly acidic, unoaked and without any heat from its 13.7% alcohol, it has good mid-palate density and closes with a medium-length, crisp finish. Perhaps there will be those that favor this particular …
