2024 Signature Shiraz
Darioush Signature Shiraz is crafted to coax the inherent complexity, structure, and age-worthiness from this versatile variety. Southern Napa Valley’s cooler microclimates, along with meticulous vineyard management naturally restrain vigor while intensifying its rich, spicy, and soulful character.
Tasting Notes
Expressive and commanding, the 2024 Signature Shiraz opens with alluring aromas of dried violet, wild brambleberry, and dark fruit.
As the wine unfolds, savory notes of cured game and charcuterie emerge alongside Asian spices and toasted almond, adding depth and complexity. The palate is dense and mouth-coating with a viscous texture carried by structured tannins that will soften beautifully as the wine evolves. The finish is exceptionally long, enveloping, and remarkably enduring.

"A muscular, handsome, firmly tannic wine that’s dense in black fruit flavors with good floral and spicy accents. Full-bodied and rather tight in texture, offering cocoa, blueberry, star anise and violet flavors.”
