100% Chardonnay
Napa Valley
Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Mit einem Hauch von Lindenblüten und Honig unterlegte weiße Tropenfrucht, zart nach Pfirsich und Biskuit. Mittlerer Körper, weißer Apfel, gute Frische, mineralisch-zitronig, etwas Nougatkaramell im Abgang.

"Floral and honeyed on the nose, this voluptuously full-bodied and intensely caramelized wine is salty and bold in tropical flavor. A lilt of salty lime accents its honeysuckle and pear notes."
Darioush
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
Tiefdunkles opakes Rubingranat. Intensive Edelholzwürze, Nuancen von Zedern und Vanille, mit einem Hauch von Nougat unterlegte schwarze Frucht, Anklänge von Cassis, Heidelbeeren und Lakritze. Kraftvoll, sehr komplex und straff, tragende Tannine, extraktsüßer Fruchtblock am Gaumen, zeigt bereits eine Riesenlänge, perfekter Reifegrad.

Once again, Darioush races to the top of the listings with a big, rich, hedonistically overachieving Cabernet, but unlike last year's 3-star winner, this one is somewhat tighter and age-demanding than its predecessor. It is in the nature of the 2005 vintage that it seems to produce somewhat less lush, plush wines, and there are those who will applaud and those who will miss the genuine juiciness of Darioush's 2004. By comparison, this wine seems to have a foot in two camps, but that only makes it a bit different rather than less desirable.
