Critical Acclaim

Wine Enthusiast

This ripe, full and layered wine is full of blackberry jam, black pepper and iron flavors wrapped in a supportive blanket of firm but fine-grained tannins. The fruit and spice elements go deep into the core of this full-bodied, muscular and intense wine for an amazing mouthful of complexity. Best from 2028–2038.

WA 91

Wine Advocate

Sourced from estate vineyards in Oak Knoll and the broader Napa Valley AVA, Darioush's 2019 Shiraz is a hugely ripe yet varietally distinct Syrah, with plummy fruit upfront, plus hints of mint, cardamom and asphalt on the nose. Full-bodied and tannic, it finishes on notes of caramel, dark chocolate and espresso.

The 2019 Syrah is a beauty, offering classic peppery herbs, sage, and bacon fat notes, as well as some classic blue and black fruits. It s medium to full-bodied, has a beautifully balanced, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. I d happily drink a bottle anytime over the coming 7-8 years.
