The remarkable 2021 vintage celebrates Darioush’s 25th anniversary and bottling of Signature Cabernet Sauvignon. After decades of meticulous vineyard management, our estate vineyards spanning Southern Napa Valley and high atop Mount Veeder have hit their stride, producing fruit with splendid concentration, compelling freshness, and graceful complexity.
Each bottle is etched and hand-painted. To ensure optimal transit conditions, your selection will be shipped in the Fall of 2024.
Rewarding with extraordinary depth and poise, the drinking pleasure of 2021 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon begins with notes of royal cassis that fan out on the palate and continue with silky black cherry and refined dark berry fruit framed by bakers’ chocolate, cedar, and toasted sage. A lush, supple midpalate displays firm yet suave tannins balanced by a juicy texture thanks to the Merlot contributed from the hillside estate vineyard. This is both a classic wine and vintage, with a flourish of brambly blackberry fruit lifted by accents of violets and bergamot that echo on the finish.
“A polished, creamy style, with enticing notes of plum sauce, blackberry preserves, melted licorice and dark cocoa that meld steadily through the loam-accented finish. Best from 2026 through 2036.”
