Is Bodyguard a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Wow, I thought as I was tasting this Daou Paso Robles Cab, the aromas and flavours are quite different, really rich! Then I discovered it’s not a Cab at all but a rare blend of 59% Petit Verdot and 41% Petit Syrah. The label says nothing about Cab, just ‘red wine’.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The 2017 vintage presents fragrant fruit aromas of blackberry, raspberry, currant and crème de cassis. Notes of cocoa, coffee, dark chocolate, licorice and sweet cherry pipe tobacco are rounded out with whispers of truffle, toffee, mocha and menthol. A juicy, fleshy palate offers bright, generous flavors of cherry, cranberry, strawberry and blueberry tinged with black raspberry and tamarind—all supported by underlying accents of dusty leather, pencil shavings, cigar box and crushed herbs. An elegantly styled and beautifully structured finish reverberates with focused energy, vibrant berry fruit and ripe, polished tannins.
DAOU Bodyguard is an American red from Paso Robles. The blend is Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot. At $36.79 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $30–60 band.
