For the one who prefers the road less traveled, we present our Mavericks Collection featuring three wines that march to the beat of their own drum: 2021 Caravan, 2021 Duel, and the single-vineyard, estate-grown 2022 Pedar Shiraz.
Caravan shares the pedigree of Darioush Signature wines, but displays more ripe, saturated fruit with an elegantly textured finish. 2021 Caravan greets us with lifted aromas of juicy Damsom plum, fig, and vibrant cherry. On the palate, this fresh medley of red fruits continues— mouthcoating flavors of red licorice and raspberry compote are balanced by savory bakers’ chocolate
A concentrated and vibrant wine, 2021 Duel offers an enticing mix of raspberry and currants enhanced by an essence of savory herbs. A medley of blackberry, red plum, and crème de cassis flavors sweeps across the classically fruit-forward palate and is warmed by spicy undertones of sandalwood and cardamom.
The 2022 Pedar is a personal endeavor, this naturally-crafted 100% estate-grown Shiraz is a tribute to my "pedar", or father. Bright and expressive, the 2022 Pedar opens with lifted aromas of rhubarb, violet, and fresh herbs. The nose carries a lively brightness that flows onto the palate, where notes of red plum and black cherry are layered with savory tones of black olive and Provençal herbs.
