A compelling set of three Signature red wines, each a standard bearer of the Darioush estate. Features one bottle each of 2022 Signature Merlot, 2022 Signature Shiraz and 2022 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aromas of sweet cigar spice and tobacco permeate the glass and mingle with juicy plum and black cherry to introduce our 2022 Signature Merlot. On the palate, the wine is both smooth and vibrant with delicate acidity to match its dense layers of berry fruit and earthy characteristics. Savory notes of espresso crema and dried herbs enhance the mid-palate, then usher in subtle hints of cocoa-covered cherries coated by finely knit tannins.
The 2022 Signature Shiraz exhibits a delightful fruit-forward profile with exceptional complexity and structure that will soften over time in the cellar. On the nose, a flourish of dried violet, rose hip, and bergamot aromas set the stage for densely packed fruits— blackberry compote, stewed blueberry, and juicy black plum.
The 2022 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon—a pure varietal expression—opens with bold aromas of ripe blackcurrant and crushed blueberries, unfolding into layers of sun-dried fig, black raspberry, and juicy Damson plum. Notes of dark cocoa, spiced sandalwood, and smoked thyme weave through the expansive palate, enhancing its rich, velvety texture.
