2012 Darioush Signature Shiraz 750ml

Experience the opulent fusion of Persian heritage and Napa Valley terroir with the 2012 Darioush Signature Shiraz 750ml at VS Liquor. Darioush Khaledi’s upbringing in Shiraz, Iran, inspired him to bring a distinctively Old World perspective to this classic varietal, planting it in the cooler southern reaches of Napa Valley to achieve a perfect balance of power and grace. The 2012 vintage is widely regarded as a "dream" year in Napa, characterized by a long, steady growing season that allowed for exceptional flavor development and structural harmony. This 100% Shiraz was aged for 20 months in 70% new French oak, resulting in a wine that captures the "black-fruit" intensity of the region while maintaining the floral and spice-laden elegance typical of the variety's ancient roots.

Whether you are seeking a prestigious gift for a Napa collector or a high-scoring red (94 Points, Wine Enthusiast; 92 Points, Robert Parker) to pair with Moroccan spiced lamb, grilled venison, or a blue cheese-crusted ribeye, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 15.5% ABV icon brought directly to your door. In the glass, it reveals a deep, ink-like purple hue. The bouquet is exuberant and complex, offering aromas of crème de cassis, wild blackberry, and lavender, nuanced by sophisticated notes of smoked meat, white pepper, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and seamless, delivering a lush core of brambly fruit framed by ripe, polished tannins and a persistent, savory finish with a touch of espresso bean.
