Paso Robles is portrayed as a relaxed rancher with an epicurean soul, comfortable in fine dining and casual beach barbecue. Thirty years ago, the region was known more for cattle than vines, but the Daou brothers recognized its potential for high-quality Bordeaux-style wines. Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is described as lush and full-bodied, with notes of mocha, blackberry, and flint. The landscape blends oak trees, palms, ocean-spray breezes, and mountain peaks. Visitors can enjoy breweries, restaurants, spas, and outdoor art in addition to tasting rooms and vineyard tours. DAOU Vineyards is highlighted for its mountaintop views, patio breeze, hummingbirds, and a tasting room featuring both popular and rarer wines, including Soul of a Lion.
"Thirty years ago, Paso Robles was better known for cattle than vines. That began to change when the Daou brothers recognized the valley's potential to produce Bordeaux-style wines of the highest order. Famed for notes of mocha, blackberry and flint, Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is the ne plus ultra of luscious, full-bodied reds. (And the wine is such that, of this year, there's a Paso Robles Wine Month, a nationwide wine education and retail celebration that lasts through May and takes place within thousands of wine/liquor stores across the country.)"
"The landscape in Paso Robles is as enchanting as the wines - oak trees planted next to palms, faint whiffs of ocean spray on the breeze and mountain peaks on the horizon. While sublime wine is reason enough to visit, this town's charms extend far beyond tasting rooms and vineyard tours. From buzzy breweries and dazzling restaurants to serene spas and otherworldly outdoor art, the valley's pleasures are as plentiful as the vines climbing Central California's sun-soaked hills."
"Paso Robles is a laid-back rancher with an epicurean soul. He's as comfortable in a Michelin-starred dining room as he is eating barbecue on the beach. He'll hold court with the most technical sommeliers, but he's also content sipping old-vine Zinfandel from a bodega glass on his porch."
"DAOU Vineyards The views from DAOU's mountaintop estate are as gorgeous as the wines in their cellar. Soak in the balmy breeze from the elegant patio while watching hummingbirds dart between vine terraces. In the tasting room, you'll find a full roster of DAOU's greatest hits, alongside a catalogue of rarer expressions. For a wine that epitomizes the house style, try a pour of Soul of a Lion."
