October 21, 2022 - Luscious - ready now
April 12, 2020 - One of my favorite Cab. Franc’s. Smooth after short decant.
April 7, 2019 - 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.
December 3, 2017 - Delicious dark berry nose and front palate. A bit peppery on the mid palate and finish. Really enjoyed the
Wine
July 2, 2017 - 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.
December 22, 2016 - 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.
September 22, 2016 - gifted to Kurt and Lucia
September 17, 2016 - 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.
November 25, 2015 - Big and plush. No greenie flavors often with cab franc.
January 17, 2015 - Tasted during Tableside Tasting.
