· Darioush Khaledi learned winemaking from his father in Persia where wine has been been made since 5000 BCE.· He became a lifelong collector and immigrated to the the US to find the American dream and follow his love of wine.· Darioush believes that great wines reflect great vineyards, but also the 'character of the people behind them'.· Hospitality is key at Darioush, and the warmth at the winery is based on the culture of Tarof, the art of hospitality.· The winery is an exact replica of a palace in Persia and is an incredible showplace and a major Napa destination.Darioush, a winery noted for its Bordeaux style estate wines, implements old world labor-intensive, micro-vineyard management and new world state of the art technology to craft fine wines from its estates located in the appellations of Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder and Oak Knoll. Under the direction of Darioush Khaledi and winemaker Steve Devitt, precision and quality are of the utmost importance at the winery.

Tasting Notes

The wine is packed with juicy dark fruit and aromatic notes of chai tea, cinnamon, fennel and bittersweet cocoa. The broad and generous palate features sweet black plum, dried blueberry, anise and intriguing woodsy notes of fresh tobacco, smoke and spice. A rather atypical Merlot showcasing impressive concentration, structure and persistence of flavors. Ages gracefully for a decade.
