Darioush 2022 Signature Cabernet Franc

Origin:  The unique terroir of our rocky, higher-elevation Mount Veeder estate combines a cool, marine-influenced climate with exceptional sun exposure to naturally develop Cabernet Franc’s inherently earthbound, spice and black fruit flavors. This classic Bordeaux variety possesses both power and poise, and contributes layered, concentrated, earthen and fruit flavors to our Signature Cabernet Sauvignon each year.

Tasting notes:  The Darioush 2022 Signature Cabernet Franc is a bold yet refined red wine from Napa Valley--praised for its layered complexity, rich dark fruit, and earthy-herbal notes. The wine is 100% Cabernet Franc and was aged for 22 months in 75% new French oak.

Score:  92 points, James Suckling.  Same as previous 2021 vintage.
