2022 Caravan
Caravan shares the pedigree of Darioush’s Signature wines, but displays more ripe, saturated fruit with an elegantly textured finish. Caravan is anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and/or Malbec and Petit Verdot added for depth and complexity of flavor.
Tasting Notes
Dark fruit unfolds in generous layers on the nose, with blackberry compote and fresh black cherry lifted by notes of cardamom and dried lavender, and a subtle hint of forest floor.
On the palate, 2022 Caravan is plush and expansive, with a round texture and ample mid-palate richness that lingers with ease. Fine, well-integrated tannins provide structure and poise, carrying through to a long, polished finish marked by depth and quiet spice.
