2006 Darioush Signature Cabernet Franc * Napa Valley
Grown from our cool vineyard sites in southern Napa Valley, Cabernet Franc develops slowly to reveal vibrant dark fruits, earth and spice. This classic Bordeaux varietal attributes much intensity of fruit and dark, earthy components to our final blend of Signature Cabernet Sauvignon each year. On its own, Cabernet Franc possesses great power with poise. |

Tasting Notes:
Bright blueberry, black cherry and a rich bouquet of spring flowers introduce the 2006 Signature Cabernet Franc. Exemplifying an ideal balance of juicy dark fruits and earth, the mid-palate o ffers up supple flavors of bittersweet chocolate, plum and sweet anise while persistent notes of licorice, tobacco and nutmeg define the long finish.
