2008 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:
Enticing aromas of ripe blueberry, acai and lavender introduce the delightful 2008 Signature Cabernet Franc. A touch of Merlot adds complexity to the full-bodied wine. The round palate is consumed by juicy black cherry, raspberry and cola, balanced by earthy compnents-- tobacco leaf, oolong tea and bittersweet cocoa. Savory herbs, black pepper and graphite are persistent on the long finish.
