Darioush Signature Cabernet Franc 2023

Rich, full-bodied wine with a opaque glass appearance, presenting the best of Napa's cabernet franc style. The absence of green pepper accents is a welcome relief, and the chalkiness adds a sense of density and complexity. The high tannins provide a silky texture, meanwhile the lasting impression is long and satisfying. A truly stellar wine that will only improve with age. A notable in the Napa region's high-end wine offerings.

Opulent and complex wine with a deep, gentle texture. The nose is recognized by a well blended seamlessness of opaque fruit and bell pepper, with a gentle earthy undertone. As the wine opens, the intensity of the pepper and earthiness gives way to a more graceful inky fruit profile, with a vibrant zest that cuts through the richness.

Deep and multi faceted wine with a promising start, but ultimately a satisfying conclusion. The initial green flavors give way to a well-balanced blend of red and black fruits, with nuances of vanilla, tobacco, and fried herbs adding dimension and complexity. The finish is long and smooth, with bright acids and chewy tannins providing a soft finish. Overall, a nice wine with potential.
