2023 | Darioush Signature Cabernet Franc | Napa Valley Muralia feminine and floralThe 2023 vintage opens with a lifted, floral bouquet of dried rose petal, ripe red cherry, and black currant, underscored by subtle graphite and pencil shaving minerality. Aromas of tomato leaf, Asian spices, toasted thyme, and hints of soy, licorice, and anise add complexity and intrigue. On the palate, the wine is full bodied yet graceful, with a round, unctuous texture and polished, smooth tannins. Brooding, layered flavors of dark and red fruits
