“Composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Darius II has a deep garnet-purple coluor and subtle scents of kirsch, Black Forest cake and warm cassis with hints of redcurrant jelly, camphor and forest floor plus a waft of lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate is elegantly styled with soft-spoken, quietly intense, mineral-laced black fruit layers supported by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant.”
