Darioush winery

This winery is one of the group of wines that came around in the 90's when Napa was at its rise...made by a gentleman who from Tehran established some grocery stores and got into wine.

Chardonnay 2006 lots of alcohol...oaky not overly malo but definitely California chard....

Merlot 2005 rich aromas on the nose and a rich looking bottle too...still hot...the wines may have been better served by being a touch cooler.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 tannin..heat ..cassis big wine for those looking for the ultimate Napa cab.

Caravan 2005 their second label..softer and more approachable than its big brother...juicy with good acidity... needed a steak to compliment it though..lol
