Review:
Daou Vineyards 'Bodyguard' Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
The 2018 vintage showcases how Chardonnay excels in Paso Robles vineyards that are carefully selected by Winemaker Daniel Daou for their pronounced maritime influence. This lush and luxuriant Chardonnay presents tropical aromas of pineapple, mango and freshly sliced banana, all accented by captivating accents of nutmeg, vanilla, honeysuckle, and hazelnut. The palate is voluminous and silky, unfolding with elegant flavors of honeydew melon, golden delicious apple and lemon curd. Secondary layers offer hints of kiwi, papaya, baking spice and clover honey. A clean, lengthy finish lingers with essences of melon, mango, citrus and toasty oak.
Review:
Broad aromas of lime spray, tangerine, lemon peel, lychee and white flowers converge on the nose of this bottling. There’s compelling cohesion of flavors on the palate, where poached apples and pears meet with a hint of savory sea salt.
