Description
Darioush Chardonnays are never lacking for richness, and the latest fits the winery style to a tee. Led in the nose by a full flush of concentrated, ripe apple fruit with layers of sweet oak, baking spice and roasted-grain complexities making for a broad, and involving aromatic start, the wine follows up with substantial, very continuous flavors that do not miss a beat. Although fairly full, it exhibits excellent balance and fruity energy, and, if not a Chardonnay likely to be embraced by minimalists who champion the idea that less is more, those looking for one that delivers richness to spare will not be disappointed.
