- The 2021 Viognier Signature from Darioush is terrific, with a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied style as well as classic Viognier notes of honeyed peach, apricot, and flowers. It has a kiss of background oak and is going to shine on the dinner table over the coming couple of years.
Fragrant, alluring, and exotic, Viognier is a rarity in Napa Valley. Darioush Signature Viognier expresses its inherently bright and vibrant character when grown from the cooler locales of Oak Knoll where dense early morning fog and late afternoon breezes allow this delicate variety to ripen slowly and completely. The hallmark of Signature Viognier is its effusive aromatics and core of juicy stone fruit.

Winery | Darioush routes themselves in ancient Persia, one of the oldest cultures to celebrate wine as the great gift it undoubtedly is. Born and brought up in Iran and trained as a hydrological engineer, he quickly emigrated to California to search for the American dream. Success came with a grocery business that became the largest in California. Alongside his wife Shahpar, Darioush then founded his winery in 1997. He had been taught the love of wine and winemaking craft by his father in Iran, and it was a natural task for him to turn to next. He wanted to make wines that celebrated the heritage he bought across the water with him, plus the dreams and aspirations of the local area. Founding Darioush in the southern end of Napa, specifically in the broad, maritime-influenced geology of the valley floor and lofty slops of Mt Veeder. Spanning Oak Knoll AVA, Mount Veeder itself and straight Napa Valley, they've planted vineyards with a strong Francophile heritage with flashes of Persian culture and history coming over in the labeling and the style. |
