Darioush Signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
New release! The 2012 Signature Darioush Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Napa Valley vintage: ripe, lush and profoundly concentrated, yet epitomizing the stylistic profile thats signature Darioush. 95 Points Wine Enthusiast "Cellar Selection": "Smoky leather and cigar make for a formidable entry on the nose before huge, layered tannins rise to the fore. A balance of acidity and brightness lurks beneath the weight, rounded by succulent blackberry and black cherry. Cellar through 2022."

Nice subtle nose of dark fruit and chocolate. Very nice tastes of blackberries, dried sage and a little hint of licorice. A very nice oak vein comes thru on the long finish. This is a world class wine with very solid tannins and just the right acidity. It probably will be better in 5 years but it was very good tonight.

One of my favorites. Very drinkable. Weird nose. Pairs well with lamb.

Bone dry, black plum, orange zest, oak. A bit tight out if the bottle. Short finish length. Acidic. Not a cocktail wine. But paired nicely with a Delmonico, as the acidity tames the marbling and adds a supple, if simple, note to the meal.

I want this wine in a handful of years, at least. Also, this needs at least a day of being open before it begins to unfold. Perfumed nose with dense black fruit, leather, tobacco, and black tea qualities. Powerful, but elegantly balanced.
