Signature Cabernet Franc Collection
Darioush’s Signature Cabernet Franc is a classic Bordeaux variety that possesses both power and poise, and contributes layered, concentrated, earthen and fruit flavors to our Signature Cabernet Sauvignon each year.
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.
Enjoy this single varietal library offering of our 2021 vintage in a 3-bottle or 6-bottle collection set.

Tasting Notes
Possessing both power and poise, Darioush Cabernet Franc’s hallmarks are its dense blue fruits, layered earthy-herbal notes, refined tannins and hints of bittersweet cocoa that persist across a long finish.
The exuberant 2021 Cabernet Franc wears its heart on its sleeve with effusive varietal aromas and flavors of black plum, tangy dark raspberry and fragrant notes of thyme, sage, and sandalwood. At the core of the open-knit fruit flavors is a firm spine of polished tannins that give this generous wine a serious side. Adding to the complex and harmonious midpalate are notes of black licorice, dried fig, and hibiscus tea with fresh ginger.
