A study of three different red varieties from the 2016 vintage, all carrying the Darioush 'signature' from our core estate vineyards. Enjoy a bottle of Signature Merlot, Signature Shiraz, and Signature Cabernet Sauvignon.
With plenty of lively red and black fruits on offer, 2016 Signature Merlot expresses all the nuance of a picture-perfect vintage. The extended 2016 growing season allowed Merlot to slowly develop its flavor profile of luscious blackberry and plum, lifted by a snap of bright, tart cherry. Round and concentrated on the palate, the wine integrates notes of licorice and acacia wood with roast espresso, mocha and savory pipe tobacco.
2016 Signature Shiraz is impressively textured and dense, showing rich layers of spice with a broad and generous palate of ripe, black fruits. Incense, orange zest, and dried violet aromas introduce decadent layers of black cherry, plum and berry compote accentuated by pink peppercorn, dusty baker’s chocolate and pie spice.
Exceptional density and composure, with brilliant focus, are hallmarks of the 2016 vintage. With a vibrant array of dark fruits and intriguing spices, Signature Cabernet Sauvignon unfolds with layer upon layer of juicy blackberry, wild blueberry, cedar and lead pencil with savory notes of cured bacon, sage and star anise.
