2010 Darioush Signature Shiraz, Napa Valley
|
|
Crafted to balance the fruit complexity, structure and age-worthiness of this ancient varietal, Darioush Signature Shiraz continues to demonstrate the remarkable potential of our cool vineyard site in Southern Napa Valley. Grown from a combination of both old-vine Australian Shiraz and Northern Rhone clones, the finished wine stays true to its inherently spicy and seductive spirit.

Dramatically reduced yields in 2010 produced a richly concentrated and exotically-spiced Signature Shiraz, exquisite in its rare and expressive character. Cardamom, incense, molasses and bittersweet dark chocolate notes complement ripe, spicy blackberry and boysenberry fruits. Aromas of dried orange peel are present, and the persistent finish reveals a savory complexity evocative of soy or cured meats. Firmly structured with fine, silky tannins, this is a wine to treasure, destined to evolve further over time.
