Darioush Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 stands as the epitome of seamlessness, a testament to the meticulous vineyard management and the fruit’s splendid concentration and graceful complexity from the Mount Veeder and Napa Valley AVAs. Crafted by the talented Winemaker Hope Goldie, this vintage is hailed as the decade’s best for the Darioush Signature Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep, garnet hue, hinting at the depth and richness within. As you lift the glass to your nose, a symphony of aromas envelops your senses. Rich notes of tobacco, black cherry, and plum intertwine with earthy scents of turned earth, espresso, and flint. Layers of complexity unfold gracefully, revealing black tea, cocoa, and a touch of sage, all wrapped around a youthful core of cassis and dark brambly fruit, a testament to the role Mount Veeder plays in the aromatic profile and structure of this wine.

The taste experience is no less captivating. Voluptuous and silky on the palate, the wine boasts ripe black and blueberry preserves, while angular tannins provide buoyancy and support. A balanced freshness and poise carry through, culminating in a luscious cocoa-tinged finish, leaving a lasting impression of its magnificence.

Aged for 22 months in 85% new French oak barrels, the wine’s oak influence contributes subtle cedar notes that complement the rich fruit profile. From the Darioush Estate Vineyard in Napa Valley and Mount Veeder, alongside hillside vineyards throughout Napa Valley, this Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship.

With a 95-point rating from Decanter, the 2019 vintage earns well-deserved acclaim, described as impressive, richly scented, and deeply flavored. Jeb Dunnuck awards it 93 points, praising its mouth-filling character and overall balance. Wine Spectator also bestows 93 points, lauding its ripe and lush style with layers of flavors. Connoisseurs Guide gives it 92 points, acknowledging its density and curranty concentration, while suggesting cellaring for further development. James Suckling’s 92 points highlight its chewy tannins and fruity depth, recommending it for future enjoyment. Lastly, Wine Advocate awards 90 points, commending its velvety mouthfeel and dark chocolate nuances on the finish.

Darioush Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a wine that demands attention, promising reward to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Enjoy now or cellar for added refinement in the years to come.

  1. WS

    A ripe, lush style, with waves of warmed plum sauce, cassis, Christmas pudding and melted black licorice rolling through, inlaid with singed tobacco, menthol and loam hints along the way. For fans of the big style. Drink now through 2032.

Wine Advocate
A blend of fruit from Mount Veeder and the broader Napa Valley AVA, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cab, matured 22 months in 85% new French oak. The wood lends plenty of cedary notes, but there's also ample cassis, blackberry and plum. In the mouth, this is full-bodied and velvety, without being overly rich or concentrated, with dark chocolate nuances creeping in on the finish.
CG 92
Connoisseurs Guide
Delicacy has never been the concern of Darioush Cabernets, and the 2019 version is, as usual, a decidedly mouthfilling, full-scaled effort with richness to spare. It is dense, it is ripe and its curranty concentration is most impressive, and, while a very gutsy young wine that suffers from a lack of polish at the moment, it is so very deep, that its slight back-end raggedness is hardly a sin. Its considerable richness notwithstanding, it is not one to tag for drinking any time soon, and we would lay it away for no fewer than four or five years with absolute certainty that will improve for another decade if not more.
DEC 95
Decanter
The estate's flagship wine from Hope Goldie. Richly scented, leading with tobacco, black cherry, plum and turned earth. Impressive depth, with voluptuous silky black and blueberry preserves. Angular tannins are buoyant, lifted by a balanced freshness and poise that collects and builds to a rich cocoa-tinged finish.

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon offers more plum and cassis fruits as well as scorched earth, camphor, and chocolate aromatics. Rich, full-bodied, and mouth-filling, it has ripe, polished tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish.
JS 92
James Suckling
Aromas of dark plums, dark chocolate, orange zest, sage and spice box. Full-bodied with chewy tannins. Rich, with fruity and dusty character and a firm finish. Better from 2023.
