Sequentis Reserve Merlot Paso Robles

This groundbreaking Merlot from Winemaker Daniel Daou is one for the ages. Sequentis is a limited release Reserve Merlot that is a testament to the devotion to Bordeaux varietals. 

Tasting Notes:

This DAOU Sequentis presents a fragrant nose redolent of black cherry, plum, boysenberry and dark chocolate with hints of cassis and black olive. Suggestions of spicy currant, dried herb, crushed gravel, and vanilla reveal layers of complexity that are further elevated by trailing impressions of incense, cedar, and cranberry.

A bold and assertive palate delivers prodigious flavors of plum and cherry with traces of black raspberry and blueberry.

Notes of toasty oak, dark roast espresso and lavender potpourri complement the bright fruit character. Balanced, structured and brimming with focused intensity, this wine concludes with firm tannins that drive a clean finish and exceptional length—all promising outstanding age-worthiness.
