Introduction:
The Bodyguard Red Blend from DAOU Vineyards celebrates the strength and elegance of Marie Daou, whose influence shaped the journey of the Daou brothers. This wine blends Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah to create a harmonious balance, showcasing boldness and refinement under the expert guidance of Winemaker Daniel Daou.
Tasting Notes:

- Flavor: Juicy and velvety textures unfold with layers of mixed berry flavors, leading to a smooth, balanced finish.
- Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with bright, silky tannins and a long, elegant finish.
Winemaking:
The growing season faced early drought conditions, which were alleviated by late spring rains, setting the stage for ideal grape development. The hand-harvested fruit is aged for 15 months in a combination of new French and American oak, resulting in a well-structured, harmonious wine that reflects the artistry and experience of Daniel Daou.
Vineyards:
Grown in the Paso Robles AVA, a region known for its diverse terroirs and moderate coastal influence, the vineyards benefit from warm days followed by cool evening breezes, promoting balanced grape ripening. Sustainable farming practices ensure grapes with natural quality and structure.
