You might not know Treasury Wine Estates by name, but chances are you’re familiar with their portfolio, as it consists of some of the most highly revered and awarded brands in the world. The global wine company is responsible for producing a wide range of premium products, which can be found in our catalog.
19 Crimes
Defiant by nature, bold in character, and always uncompromising, 19 Crimes is known for its unique labeling, offering a side story to entertain you even more. The backstory hails from the days when British law called for some convicts to be shipped out to America or Australia. “There are 19 corks, one for each of the 19 crimes a person could commit to be sentenced to ‘Punishment by Transportation.’ The corks, which are randomly distributed with the bottles, have the name of the crime on the side,” according to the brand’s website. These convicts then became pioneers in frontier country, and the wines celebrate that spirit.
However, it’s what’s inside the bottle that really stands out, with a vast selection of premium wines that include white and red blends.
DAOU
DOAU Vineyards is based in Paso Robles’ Adelaida District AVA; which has a similar environment and elevation as France’s Bordeaux and regional neighbor Napa thus creating incredible wines in Northern California. DAOU has an incredible line-up of varieties, making it great for all occasions.
- Sauvignon Blanc: “Lovely and bright – a quintessential rendition of Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc… Decisively refreshing, this wine finishes clean with lingering notes of dragon fruit, passionfruit, and citrus.”
- Chardonnay: “A lush, vibrant palate displays tropical flavors of mango, kiwi and pineapple with kisses of golden apple and clover honey. Suggestions of casaba melon, citrus zest and toasty oak persist on a clean, balanced finish.”
- Rosé: “Made from gently pressed Grenache grapes in the classic Old World style, the 2022 Rosé presents a pretty pale flamingo hue with scintillating aromas of fresh strawberry, guava, and honeysuckle… Hints of spiced peach, mango and watermelon are complemented by red delicious apple, kiwi, apricot and honeydew melon, all cascading into a clean, refreshing finish.”
- Cabernet Sauvignon: “The 2021 DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep ruby-purple color, foreshadowing intense aromas of cherry and blackberry jam complemented by dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and desert sage… An impeccably balanced finish flows effortlessly from the juicy mid palate, leaving lovely notes of boysenberry, rhubarb, graphite and dried thyme.”
