Fragrant, alluring, and exotic, Darioush Signature Viognier captures the essence of its cool-climate origins in Oak Knoll (Napa Valley) and Los Carneros (Sonoma) where fog-laden mornings and cool, afternoon breezes coax the varietal’s inherently effusive aromas and flavors.
The hallmark of Darioush Signature Chardonnay is its progressive style of integrating precision, richness, and complexity. Grown from the winery estate and renowned Chardonnay vineyards of Los Carneros, these cooler Southern Napa Valley climes exhibit quintessential varietal characteristics while preserving inherent freshness and vibrancy.
This rare and extremely limited wine is made only when nature’s good fortune allows the harvesting of grapes affected with botrytis cinerea, or noble rot. The white grapes destined for this wine were still on the vine in mid-November, slowly dehydrating and accumulating the noble rot essential for achieving its exquisitely rich honey and apricot profile.
Sourced from three small blocks at 1,800 feet elevation on our Mount Veeder estate, Sage Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc reflects the rarefied conditions of Napa’s most temperate mountainside AVA. The southern exposure, marine influence of San Pablo Bay, moderate sun, and varied topography create high-elevation microclimates ideal for gradual ripening and flavor development. This limited-production wine embodies brightness, purity, and refinement, delivering a focused, elegant expression of the site with remarkable clarity and precision.
