2016 Darioush Caravan Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Darius

A classically-styled round, supple and sleek red blend – 2013 Caravan is the first vintage to highlight higher proportions of Merlot. The resulting profile is ripe and decadent with palate-pleasing notes of juicy plum, raspberry and flourless chocolate cake. Cabernet Sauvignon, the lion’s share of the blend, adds layers of complexity and an ideal balance between sweet and savory elements. It’s supple yet firm and polished tannin is complemented by dark, spicy notes of black currant and cinnamon; Caravan has a youthful energy that would reward several years of aging.

The Caravan of Life
Passes amazingly fast

Seize each Moment
Of your Life spent Happily

Care not about tomorrow or our rivals
Bring out the cup, the Night is passing!
