Tasting Notes
A study in elegance and poise, our flagship Signature Cabernet
Sauvignon seamlessly balances structure and depth with vibrant fruit
tone and earth-driven complexity. The 2022 vintage—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. Firm yet polished tannins extend through a
satisfying finish, accented by hints of graphite, dried lavender, and a
lift of candied orange peel. This sophisticated wine promises to evolve
beautifully with cellar age.

Winery Notes
The hallmark of Darioush Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is its seamlessness, the result of decades of meticulous vineyard management of our cooler climate, Southern Napa Valley sites. Our estate vineyards in the Mount Veeder and Napa Valley AVAs have hit their stride, producing fruit with splendid concentration, compelling freshness, and graceful complexity. The final composition strikes a tightrope balance of youthful energy, structure, and restraint; our flagship wine rewards with extraordinary depth and poise.
