darioush caravan cabernet sauvignon 2018 750ml

Caravan shares the pedigree of Darioush's Signature wines, but displays more ripe, saturated fruit with an elegantly textured finish. Caravan is anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and/or Malbec and Petit Verdot added for depth and complexity of flavor.

TASTING NOTES: 
Holding true to its reverent style as a rich and supple, Right-Bank influenced blend, 2018 Caravan entices with decadent flavors of plum, fig jam, blackberry compote, and chocolate ganache on a silky, sleek frame. Notes of spiced chai, dried currants, and cinnamon add intrigue, harmonizing with the wine’s core profile of Cabernet Sauvignon. Bright, energetic, and exceptionally round and concentrated – this is a remarkable wine from a textbook growing season.

Blend: 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, & 8% Malbec

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

WS90, Wine Spectator

"A polished, fan-friendly style, with a mocha overlay atop warmed plum and black currant compote flavors. A late echo of cedar adds some cut on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Drink now through 2025."

WE90, Wine Enthusiast

"Blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec into a rich, ripe and concentrated whole, this wine is sanguine in red berry and coffee bean. Soft, integrated and luxurious, it is meant to be enjoyed and approachable in its youth, finishing in leather and dried herb."
