Darioush Cabernet Sauvignon Darius II Napa Valley 2021 750mL

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon | 14.9% ABV | Aged 22 Months in French Oak | Limited Release | 750mL

Process & Profile

Darioush Darius II Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 represents the pinnacle of the Darioush portfolio — a collector’s wine that captures the essence of Napa Valley’s finest vineyards. Crafted from mountain and valley floor fruit grown primarily in the Darioush Estate vineyards on the southern Napa Valley bench, this limited release embodies power, precision, and refinement.

The 2021 vintage was shaped by small yields and long, even ripening conditions, producing grapes of extraordinary concentration. After careful hand-harvesting and small-lot fermentation, the wine was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels, allowing rich tannins to integrate seamlessly with deep fruit intensity and elegant spice.

Tasting Notes

  • Color: Opaque garnet with dark purple hues.

  • Nose: Aromas of blackberry compote, espresso, graphite, and violets layered with cedar and baking spice.

  • Palate: Full-bodied and structured, offering flavors of black cherry, cassis, mocha, tobacco leaf, and licorice.

  • Finish: Long, luxurious, and finely textured with lingering notes of dark chocolate, plum, and sandalwood.
