Darioush Caravan Napa Valley Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Wine Review (NW)



Tasting notes:


Espresso, dark berries, and plum on the nose


Full bodied and firmly textured on the palate


Long finish of dark chocolate and dark berries


Sumary:


Caravan is a label owned by Darioush who is known for big and bold styles of Cabernet Sauvignon. I would describe this as just a bit more reserved than that top bottlings but with a dark and brooding style that is true to the varietal. With fairly firm tannins, it should benefit from age. Expect to pay $35 or so, and raise a glass!
