Description
 
Rating: 93+ Points (Robert Parker)
"The luxury, flagship offering is the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Darius II, a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot that came in at 14.8% natural alcohol. Only 250 cases are produced from what are presumably their best barrels. More formidably endowed, backward and brooding, it reveals an opaque plum/purple color along with rich, chewy, powerful flavors (still surprisingly unevolved for a ten-year-old wine) as well as impressive balance and purity. This blockbuster, full throttle effort needs another 3-5 years of cellaring, and seems capable of lasting two or more decades." (Robert Parker)

Winemaker's Notes:
Blessed with lovely violet, wild blackberry and roasted espresso aromas, this captivating wine fills the palate with luscious, sweet black currant, licorice and bittersweet chocolate flavors, followed by an exotic mix of spices. The wine's beautiful concentration and seamlessly integrated tannins provide a regal measure of finesse and elegance to lingering, velvety finish. A deeply personal wine for Darioush for its sense of creative expression, discovery, and intrigue. An exceptional quality distinguishes each vintage from the last, with distinctiveness here more treasured than consistency. Each vintage label bears a rich example of historical Persian art.
Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot
