Darioush Napa Cabernet Franc 2022

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. This classic Bordeaux variety possesses both power and poise, and contributes layered, concentrated, earthen and fruit flavors to our Signature Cabernet Sauvignon each year. Beautiful, ripe Cabernet Franc character defines the 2021 Cabernet Franc, which shows blue fruits, violets, and floral notes. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it offers notes of chocolate and a rich, layered texture backed by fine tannins and good acidity.
