This hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind gift features our estate's crown jewel, Darius II Cabernet Sauvignon alongside a set of two hand-painted crystal tumblers by Vienna-based craftsmen, Lobmeyr. These delicate works were commissioned to highlight and complement the artwork adorning our 2021 vintage release, in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum of London.
A study in power and poise, 2021 Darius II embodies all the remarkable traits of a textbook Napa Valley vintage. Captivating aromas of dark berry fruit, espresso crema, and Belgian chocolate set the stage for a seamless, beautifully textured wine experience highlighting delineated flavors of blackberry purée and cassis commingling with savory notes of thyme and bay leaf.
Hailing from our Sage Vineyard atop Mt. Veeder and produced only in certain vintages, the 2019 Sage Vineyard Red Wine is a site- and vintage- expressive offering. Our two-bottle collection is beautifully presented in a Darioush branded gift box.
A dazzling companion set for the holiday table — this collection combines a rare release of 2019 Sage Vineyard Red Wine with a beautiful hand-crafted bottle and glass coaster set by artisan craftsmen, Juliska.

THE LABEL ART
London-born John Henry Dearle rose to Chief Designer of the legendary firm, Morris & Co, under the tutelage of William Morris himself. Known as the father of progressive pattern in the Victorian era, Morris revived practices lost to the passage of time— emphasizing the use of quality raw materials and hand processing in textiles. Observing the natural world first-hand and influenced by a study of ancient patterns of Persia, Dearle’s motifs convey strong symmetry with flourishes of color, aptly suited to the technique of weaving. His 1890s masterpiece, Apple, now resides in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

THE LABEL ART
Echoing the intricacy and vibrancy that distinguishes the 2015 vintage from its predecessors, this label depicts an elaborately embroidered linen scarf from the 18th century, held in the V&A’s world-class collection of Middle Eastern textiles. From the 1720’s onwards, Ottoman embroidery became a genuinely creative art form – new, naturalistic floral motifs were introduced and depicted in great detail. The colors used to embroider this textile were originally bright and vibrant, which have faded over time to pleasing pastel shades.
