2020 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

The hallmark of Darioush Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is its seamlessness, the result of decades of meticulous vineyard management of our cooler climate, Southern Napa Valley sites. Our estate vineyards in the Mount Veeder and Napa Valley AVAs 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; our flagship wine rewards with extraordinary depth and poise.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is a standout, opening with attractive floral aromas and a burst of brambly fruit flavors— wild blackberry, cherry, cassis, and boysenberry, lent by additional contributions of Merlot.

Savory secondary notes of dried sage leaf, herbal incense, spiced chai, and cacao expand on the mid-palate—adding intrigue and depth. This is a lively and powerful wine, with finely-knit tannins to support longer term aging. With the uncommon 2020 season resulting in limited yields, Winemaker Hope Goldie’s selectivity and blending techniques produced a beautiful wine reflective of Darioush’s commitment to quality, consistency and style.
