2010 Darioush Signature Chardonnay * Napa Valley
Vintage after vintage, the cooler climates of Darioush’s southern Napa Valley estate and two historically-renowned Chardonnay vineyards in Los Carneros produce wines of character and complexity. Precision, richness and seamlessly integrated layers of ripe stone fruits, vibrant citrus and delicate mineral tones are hallmarks of our style. |

Tasting Notes:
Influenced by a cooler than average growing season, the 2010 Signature Chardonnay is powerful, sleek and vibrant, and was bottled unfiltered to maintain a strong sense of place and high concentration of flavor. Bright aromatics of white peach and quince entice, with layers of green apple, creamy lemon meringue, yeast and toasted wheat in the mid-palate, finishing with a pure, delicate minerality. A promising vintage that will evolve well for several years.
