Darioush Napa Valley 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, $83.49-$95.99, 94 points, poured black throughout save for the purple/red glass edge, broad clear wine ring, and fat legs.
Aromatic violets, sandalwood, crème de cassis, soft coffee and blackberry notes made for a traditionally excellent bouquet.
Full-bodied with good acidity and grainy supportive tannins carried the aromas onto the palate.
Finished long, tannic, enormously spicy, with crème de cassis and a bold 14.8% alcohol.
I drank this delicious Darioush side-by-side with the Souverain North Coast 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, and I affirmed that we usually get what we pay for, not necessarily what the wine magazines have to say; in-vino-veritas.
Darioush of Napa Valley, why it's a "go to" winery.
