2023 Signature Shiraz

Tasting Notes
The cooler season encouraged gradual ripening, preserving freshness while building remarkable depth.
A regal expression of the vintage, the 2023 Darioush Signature Shiraz opens with a floral bouquet of violets, potpourri, and rose petal, lifted by accents of pine and herbal spice. On the palate, the wine is dense and concentrated, framed by dark berry tones and savory undertones. Violet hues and fine, persistent tannins lend grandeur to the long, resonant finish, a testament to Shiraz’s varietal purity and noble character.
