Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The benchmark of the Darius II Cabernet Sauvignon is its rich, regal style – a plush, velvety mouthfeel, layered dark fruits and finely integrated tannins. A gorgeously textured palate is comprised of ripe blackberries and licorice accented by earth, dark espresso roast and vanilla bean. A long, lingering finish reveals notes of exotic spices.

Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot

Professional Ratings

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Darioush’s flagship wine, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Darius II (just under 500 cases produced) boasts a big, creamy, oaky nose displaying abundant aromas of creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, and camphor. This opaque purple-colored, full-bodied, opulent 2006 is performing even better than the 2007 at this stage. With considerable complexity as well as accessibility, this beauty should drink well for 15-20 years.
91 James Suckling
Berries, spices and chocolate on the nose. Full bodied, with chewy tannins and a slightly hot finish. Lots of fruit though. No reason to wait. Pull the cork. 14+23+22+32. Find the wine

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

View all products

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
