Winemaking Notes

Darioush Signature Shiraz is crafted to coax the inherent complexity, structure, and age-worthiness from this versatile variety. Southern Napa Valley’s cooler microclimates, along with meticulous vineyard management naturally restrain vigor while intensifying its rich, spicy, and soulful character.The sleek and seamless mouthfeel of 2019 Signature Shiraz is saturated with wild blackberry and plum, enhanced with Asian incense, violets, and dried rose petal aromas. A long, persistent finish reveals another dimension of sweet smoke, spice, and apricot-scented black tea.

A bevy of dense black fruits and savory spices unfold and persist on the palate— plum, licorice, and black cherry maintain exceptional freshness and focus, while beautiful floral fragrances of lavender and rose hips reveal the wine’s nuanced varietal character. Bergamot, cola, smoked bacon, and Asian incense add dimension and depth across the long, rewarding finish.
