Darioush Kaledi and his team under the direction of Bernard La Borie are building a new 22,000 sq ft. winery at the bottom of Silverado Trail near Signorella where winemaker Steve Devitt perfected his winemaking skills for many years.  They've crafted a magnificent Darioush Signature Series that combines the best of Bordeaux style blending and craftmanship with the new world techniques and full forward fruit available from selected Napa Valley properties. They're sparing no expense to produce the best possible product  that has been a blockbuster so far.  The dedicated staff are incredibly gracious and hospitable. This is a wine that should be in every enthusiasts cellar for early drinking and moderate aging. Darioush should be on every Napa itinerary. The new facility will be a fabulous re-creation of a Persian temple - surely to be one of the most incredible wineries in the region.  Tasting notes coming soon.
