Product details
Darioush Darius II Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is the flagship collectible from Darioush, crafted to showcase the exceptional character and elegance of Napa Valley fruit in outstanding vintages. Revered as the crown jewel of the estate, Darius II reflects a meticulous dedication to artistry, balance, and long-term aging potential. Each release is distinguished by historically inspired label artwork, and the 2021 edition features an intricate design adapted from an 1860 watercolor by British architect and designer Owen Jones, symbolizing the connection between culture, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Structured yet graceful, the 2021 vintage captures the power, precision, and refinement that define world-class Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
The aroma opens with captivating notes of dark berry fruit, espresso crema, and Belgian chocolate, creating remarkable depth and richness from the first pour. On the palate, layers of blackberry purée and cassis unfold alongside savory hints of thyme and bay leaf, delivering complexity and elegance in equal measure. Finely integrated tannins provide structure and polish, while the velvety texture carries through a long, refined finish with exceptional balance and finesse. Bold yet sophisticated, this age-worthy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with premium cuts of beef, roasted lamb, rich mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses.
