2022 | Darioush 'Darius II' Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Valley Carmenere with a lovely violet floralThe flagship here, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Darius II sports a deep purple plum hue and offers darker currants, subtle blue fruits, sage, sappy flowers, and some cedary, tobacco, and chocolate notes. It's a rich, more black fruited, concentrated 2022 that has remarkable purity, ripe, polished tannins, integrated acidity, and a great finish. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
