Darioush Signature Malbec 2019 Review
Darioush is well-known for its opulent Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons and red blends. But the winery was inspired by the old-vine Malbec on its estate vineyards to craft a wine where Malbec is the star. And this wine definitely showcases the big, bold side of the grape. It’s aged for 20 months in French oak barrels (75 percent new), which gives it warming, spicy aromas of leather, clove, vanilla, and cedar. The palate is bursting with dark fruits like plums, cassis, and blueberries. It’s a heavy-hitting wine, but manages to maintain balance.
