The 2021 Caravan is Darioush’s Bordeaux-style blend, crafted to be more approachable in its youth than their flagship Cabernet while maintaining the estate’s signature intensity and polish. In a concentrated vintage like 2021, this wine shows remarkable depth and structure.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Highly expressive and “lifted,” featuring aromas of Damson plum, fig, and vibrant black cherry. Subtle savory undertones of cedar, lavender brush, and green tea add complexity.
- Palate: Full-bodied and plush. A core of rich red fruits—think raspberry compote and red licorice—is balanced by darker notes of baker’s chocolate, graphite, and exotic spices.
- Finish: The finish is long and well-balanced, supported by the “firmly framed” tannins typical of the 2021 Napa vintage, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit and polished oak.
