DARIOUSH Cabernet Franc, Napa Valley 2014

The 2014 Cabernet Franc from Darioush begins with inviting aromas of red bell pepper, cigar box, mocha and black tea. The palate is lithe and plush as the wine currently displays massive tannins and a wonderful minerality. This possesses a sexy and silky mouthfeel, as flavors of black currant, blackberry cobbler, black tea and crushed mint. Seductive and downright intoxicating, this is one of the most compelling examples of Cabernet Franc in Napa. While simple delicious now, yry to allow this stunning wine at least another year in the bottle to fully develop. (Best 2018-2030) - September, 2017 (OB)
