2015 Darioush Cabernet FrancNapa Valley more |
11/4/2020 - brich Likes this wine: 91 pointsOverall, it’s a nicely crafted wine. I continue to be disappointed with Darioush in that I think that they are generally over-priced and more about presentation than content. This wine is no exception. It is as good as it’s going to get but it is far from exceptional. |

7/3/2020 - brich Likes this wine: 89 pointsI am putting this out there.... this wine cost me $14/bottle in 2008. It rocks. It is better than some first growths I have in my cellar from 2005. Hard to believe. I would give it higher than an 89 but nobody would believe me! |
