2019 Darioush Napa Valley Cabernet Franc
2019 Darioush Napa Valley Cabernet Franc On the palate, Damson plums, sandalwood and bergamot mingle with vivid berry flavors while subtle minerality is reminiscent of a mountain hike though granitic streams and a path through conifers and forest undergrowth. The lush finish echoes raspberry liqueur and plum compote with silky tannins to spare.
Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot,Cabernet Franc and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.
Darioush, a winery noted for its Bordeaux style estate wines, implements old world labor-intensive, micro-vineyard management and new world state of the art technology to craft fine wines from its estates located in the appellations of Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder and Oak Knoll. Under the direction of Darioush Khaledi and winemaker Steve Devitt, precision and quality are of the utmost importance at the winery.
