An intriguing and rare bottling of 2019 Signature Napa Valley Red
Wine - a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and
Petit Verdot with a small portion of Shiraz.
In 2019, the virtues of old-vine Malbec grown from our estate vineyards in Mount Veeder and Oak Knoll, along with our partner Larkmead Vineyards in Calistoga compelled us to craft a singular, elegant offering of Darioush Signature Malbec. This is the fourth bottling of Darioush Malbec, following the 2015, 2014 and 2009 vintages.
The unique terroir of our rocky, higher-elevation Mount Veeder estate combines a cool, marine-influenced climate with exceptional sun exposure to naturally develop Cabernet Franc’s inherently earthbound, spice and black fruit flavors. This classic Bordeaux variety possesses both power and poise, and contributes layered, concentrated, earthen and fruit flavors to our Signature Cabernet Sauvignon each year.
Aromatic complexity and typicity is the hallmark of Darioush Signature Merlot. Our meticulous vineyard practices, the unique microclimates and soils from our Southern Napa Valley vineyards atop Mount Veeder and on the valley floor naturally restrict, concentrate, and carefully ripen this noble Bordeaux variety to coax a plush yet focused wine.
Signature Pinot Noir is a vineyard-driven wine sourced from one of the most cherished micro-regions in the Russian River Valley. Largely comprised of Goldridge soil, a fine-grained, sandy loam formed from the erosion of ancient marine sediments, the gently sloping vineyards we farm also benefit from southeastern sun exposure and cooler climates with ample fog coverage due to their proximity to the Pacific Ocean. All these elements combine to develop multi-layered wines with compelling structure, freshness, and flavor.
Duel is the idyllic marriage of two distinguished varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. This unique blend varies year to year, seeking to harmonize the deep satisfying fruit and earthy minerality of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz’s vibrancy and exotic spice. Duel is a wine with style, soul, and substance.
A deeply personal endeavor for Darioush Khaledi, Pedar—meaning “father” in Farsi—is a heartfelt tribute to his own. This naturally crafted, 100% estate-grown Shiraz reflects the purity and simplicity of the winemaking techniques Darioush first observed as a child. Richly saturated and layered with spice and intrigue, Pedar is more than a wine—it is a celebration of legacy and a testament to the joy found in doing what one loves.
Caravan shares the pedigree of Darioush’s Signature wines, but displays more ripe, saturated fruit with an elegantly textured finish. Caravan is anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and/or Malbec and Petit Verdot added for depth and complexity of flavor.
