2022 Darioush 'Signature' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: The hallmark of Darioush Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is its seamlessness, the result of decades of meticulous vineyard management of the cooler climate, Southern Napa Valley sites. Darioush estate vineyards in the Mount Veeder and Napa Valley AVA's have hit their stride, producing fruit with splendid concentration, compelling freshness, and graceful complexity. The final composition strikes a tightrope balance of youthful energy, structure, and restraint; the flagship wine rewards with extraordinary depth and poise.

The 2022 vintage—a pure varietal expression—opens with bold aromas of ripe blackcurrant and crushed blueberries, unfolding into layers of sun-dried fig, black raspberry, and juicy Damson plum. Notes of dark cocoa, spiced sandalwood, and smoked thyme weave through the expansive palate, enhancing its rich, velvety texture. Firm yet polished tannins extend through a satisfying finish, accented by hints of graphite, dried lavender, and a lift of candied orange peel. This sophisticated wine promises to evolve beautifully with cellar age.
