The wine of the evening is the 2018 Darioush Caravan from Napa Valley. The blend of this wine is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 8% Malbec.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, licorice, all spice, mocha, vanilla and herbs.

On the palate I have juicy black fruit, black cherry, blackberry, fig, plum, black currant, chocolate, a hint of green bell pepper and dark soil.

This wine is full bodied that has a smooth mouthfeel with medium acidity and medium to medium + fine focused tannins and gives a medium to long black fruit cedar finish. I hope everyone's week ahead is a good one, stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
