Darioush: Winery of Distinction<br />
“One of the most unusual and delightful of Darioush winemaker Steve Devitt’s wines is the fascinating and<br />
ethereal Viognier, which combines concentration with an oddly elusive, otherworldly quality that makes<br />
one think of sunlight and moonlight blended. Thick with heady scents of jasmine, orange blossom, and<br />
honeysuckle, the Darioush 2005 Signature Viognier produces an intense, lush melon flavor on the palate<br />
before evaporating in a finish as delicate as a mirage.”<br />
Darioush, a winery noted for its Bordeaux and<br />
Rhone style estate wines, implements old world laborintensive,<br />
micro-vineyard management and new world<br />
state of the art technology to craft fine wines from its<br />
estates located in the appellations of Napa Valley, Mt.<br />
Veeder, and Oak Knoll.<br />
Under the direction of Darioush Khaledi and winemaker<br />
Steve Devitt, precision and quality are of the<br />
utmost importance at the winery. The <strong>Desert</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong><br />
Wine Store is proud to feature Darioush as this month’s<br />
Winery of Distinction.<br />
