Red Wine | The Pessimist Red Blend | DAOU Family Estates

      Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Syrah and Lagrein.

      Blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Syrah, and Lagrein, the 2021 vintage once again delivers an impressive blend with the distinctive style of Pessimist.

      Deep and brilliant red.

      It presents fragrances of blueberry, blackberry, and black plum. Secondary layers reveal elderberry, truffle, cocoa, and cardamom spice accented by hints of eucalyptus, leather, cherry pipe tobacco, and grilled meats. Broad and expansive on the palate, it bestows lush, generous flavors of black cherry, blueberry crème de cassis, and damp forest floor. Hints of lavender, anise, and black olive complement the rich, ripe fruit flavors. Massive in weight yet elegantly structured, this wine is a powerhouse that reveals itself gradually but deliberately. It finishes smoothly with leisure and length, on notes of blackberry, espresso bean, and pomegranate.

      It pairs well with a variety of dishes. It can be excellent with grilled meats such as steak or ribs, as well as with lamb or roasted pork dishes.
