Score 90/100 · Drink 2015-2027, Robert Parker, Jun 2015
Darioush is at the very southern end of the Silverado Trail in Napa. It generally produces two cuvées of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is top flight. Just reaching full maturity, the wine has a dense plum/purple color, with a touch of lightening at the edge and notes of blackcurrants, Asian plum sauce, clove, allspice and balsam. It is medium to full-bodied and pure, with integrated acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol (14.8%). The wine is supple, opulent, and ideal for drinking now and over the next 10-12 years.
