Darioush Shiraz 2018

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.

Shiraz is powerful, complex, and compelling. 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.
