A remarkable Cab Franc from a stellar producer, showing deep extraction of color, nearly purple/black, with enticing black-fruit aromas and a rich, mouthcoating mélange of black cherry, smoke, herbs and spice, leading into a snappy, delicious finish. Favorite varietal in the Darioush lineup, and it's a great lineup to begin with.

A really nice Cab Franc.... Reminds me of the days of when Foley was making Pride Cab Franc. Just lush and well rounded, a touch sweet. A bit softer than I would love for it to be, but held up well against several powerhouses this evening.

Drinking really nice right now. Smooth and silky on the palate. Intense red fruit, subtle spice, medium to full body. Very flavorful but not overpowering. Great beef pairing.

One of my favorite Cab. Franc’s. Smooth after short decant.

Only needs a 60 min decant. Full bodied, rich fruit. Ovrerall nice balance, for me, this reaches prime in about 3 years and holds for another 5.
