Darioush Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750mL

Celebrating a quarter-century of unparalleled winemaking, the Darioush Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 marks the 25th anniversary of Darioush's signature bottling. This exceptional vintage encapsulates the culmination of decades of dedicated vineyard management across the esteemed estate vineyards in Southern Napa Valley and the elevated terrains of Mount Veeder. The result is a vintage that showcases fruit of splendid concentration, compelling freshness, and graceful complexity.

The 2021 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies a harmonious balance between youthful energy and mature structure, offering a drinking experience of extraordinary depth and poise. The journey begins with the regal notes of royal cassis, unfolding across the palate with layers of silky black cherry and refined dark berry fruits. These are impeccably framed by hints of bakers’ chocolate, cedar, and toasted sage, enhancing the wine’s complexity and allure.

Crafted with 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and a touch of 2% Petit Verdot, this flagship offering reflects the meticulous care in its composition. The Merlot, sourced from hillside estate vineyards, contributes to a lush, supple midpalate, where firm yet suave tannins are beautifully balanced by a juicy texture. Aged for 21 months in 75% new French oak barrels, this wine gains a refined elegance and a depth of flavor that only time can bestow.

Winemaker Hope Goldie's vision comes to life in this vintage, capturing the essence of Darioush Estate Vineyards in Napa Valley, Mount Veeder, Coombsville, and the contributions from Hillside Vineyards in Spring Mountain. With only 9,250 cases available, this vintage is both a tribute to the classic wine-making tradition and a celebration of a milestone anniversary.
