About Patrimony 2018 Cabernet Franc, Adelaida Dist., Paso Robles
Patrimony is the creation of brothers Daniel Daou and Georges Daou, proprietors of Daou Vineyards & Winery. Through Patrimony Estate, the inseparable brothers seek to further their own dreams of creating luxury, world-class wines that rival the best in Bordeaux, Napa Valley and beyond.
Grapes are sourced from the one-of-a-kind, scenic Daou Mountain, which ranges from 1,700 to 2,200 feet in elevation. The calcareous clay soils are akin to Bordeaux, which drew the brothers to this unique terroir on the westside of Paso Robles. Located only 13 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vineyards experience an intense diurnal temperature shift which allows them to receive the perfect balance of concentrated flavors and balancing acidities.
Fermentation proceeds exclusively with wild yeasts cultured from Daou Mountain, imbuing the wine with native texture and character. Maturation unfolds for 30 months in rare, custom-made French oak barrels prized for their fine grain and distinctive elegance. Only after further aging in the bottle for one year do all these aspects coalesce into complete symmetry.
The Wine Advocate scored this 97+ saying "The 2018 Cabernet Franc takes some time to unfold to dark cherries and chocolate with notes of fried herbs, violet and graphite. The full-bodied palate has loads of powdery tannins, bursts of fresh acidity, spicy fruits and alluring floral perfume that lingers on the finish. This was made entirely from free-run juice and was matured for 30 months in 100% new French oak."
