2019 Darioush Caravan Cabernet

2019 Darioush Caravan Cabernet

2019 Darioush Caravan Cabernet A flourish of rich, round fruits sweep across the midpalate, then culminate in an aromatic finish accentuated by dark chocolate reminiscent of a fine dusting of cocoa powder.

This powerful, full-bodied yet velvety wine boasts complex aromatics, muscular tannins and deep, uber-ripe fruit flavors. The wine is rich in aromas of cinnamon, cedar and vanilla followed by black currants, blueberries and dark chocolate on the palate.

Darioush makes some of the finest wine in Napa. Hard to get, very exclusive. Their Cabernet is world renown, sells around $150 and is very hard to find. Darioush is owned by Darioush Khaledi, a Persian immigrant, made a fortune in the grocery business. His fascination with wine was instilled at an early age by his father’s winemaking efforts and the cultural history of winemaking in Shiraz. Their winemaker Steve Devitt has been with them since day one. The winery is one of the spectacles on the Silverado trail. With its huge pillars and Persian influence is a Winery like no other. What many people don’t know is that Darioush makes another Cab that shares the pedigree of their top wine but can be had at a third of the price. Whenever I can find a great price on the wine, I jump on it. The wine is the 2019 Darioush Caravan Cabernet that sells at the Winery for $70 per bottle. We can offer for $49.99. The wine is made with the same grapes that go into the $150 Cabernet but shows more ripe, rich fruit with a more textured elegant finish. A wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for anther 15 years, this is one of the great values in hard core Napa Cabernet. The wine got a he 94pts by WE and is blue chip all the way.
