2023 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon
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 2023 vintage opens with an ethereal bouquet of blueberry, black and red raspberry, and crème de cassis, lifted by violet, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a whisper of sandalwood.
Subtle notes of crushed gravel and damp forest floor add depth and a sense of place. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and multi-layered, with cascading layers of lush fruit and savory nuances—plum, black raspberry, and earthy umami—woven seamlessly through fine-grained, polished tannins. Elegant, dense, and poised, this Signature Cabernet Sauvignon delivers clarity, sophistication, and a lingering finish that promises rewarding evolution with cellar age.
