Daou Special Select Pessimist Red Blend 2024
92 Points, The Tasting Panel
The Special Select ‘Pessimist’ is a stunningly good, rich and fruit-forward Red blend, that comes with a juicy 92-point score and somehow also checks in for less than $25/btl to the Nicholas Wines faithful. This is one of those incredible unmatched values thanks to it being a restaurant-only special. Let me tell you: there was ever a red wine meant for hamburgers, this is it. This is exactly the kind of rich, powerful Big Red that made DAOU winery famous: perfect for firing up the grill and opening with friends.
Original price was: $30.00.$22.00Current price is: $22.00.

92 Points, Tasting Panel
This French-oak aged blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and Syrah is elegant and powerful, with stunning aromas and flavors of blueberry, violets, and dark chocolate. Streamlined and well-built.
Brothers Georges and Daniel Daou are Lebanese immigrants who grew up in France. From a young age, the pair would walk the vineyards of Southern France hoping one day to fulfill their dream of becoming winemakers.
They moved to the States in the 1980s to study electrical and computer engineering and later started their own company, DAOU Systems, a networking technology company that would revolutionize hospital computer systems. All the while, Daniel made wine in his garage in rural San Diego, tending to a one-acre vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon while practicing to one day fulfill his lifelong dream.
In 1998, the brothers took DAOU Systems public and then sold it for a pretty penny, allowing the brothers to start a winery like they always planned. They found a mountain that stands alone at an insane elevation of 2,200 feet in the heart of the Adelaida District in the rugged west coast range of Paso Robles. Instantly, they knew they had found their spot — most everyone told them that was a huge mistake. Guess who got the last laugh?!?
