2005 Darioush Signature Cabernet Franc * Napa Valley

$55.00

Quantity:

As a classic Bordeaux varietal, Cabernet Franc imparts such intensity of fruit and dark earthy components when blended into our Signature Cabernet Sauvignon. On its own, it possesses power with great poise.

Introduced by vibrant aromas of blackberry, cherry and bittersweet chocolate, the 2005 vintage is focused and intense. A saturated palate showcases flavors of loganberry and kirsch liqueur, while firm tannins suggest oolong tea, cedar and tobacco.
