Darioush Khaledi was born in Shiraz, Iran — the city whose name the grape carries — and built this estate as both a wine venture and a cultural declaration. The Persepolis-inspired winery on Silverado Trail is the most explicitly Persian address in Napa Valley.
The 2021 vintage delivered small-berried, thick-skinned Syrah from a drought-stressed season — naturally concentrated, with firm structure and critics landing between 92 and 94 points across three publications. Drink now with a 30-minute decant, or hold through 2032.
PAIRINGS :
| Dry-aged ribeye | concentrated dark fruit locks onto beef fat; the ABV warmth amplifies the char |
| Lamb shoulder braised with black olives | classic Syrah pairing; the wine's pepper and sandalwood mirror the herb crust |
| Smoked duck breast with cherry reduction | black cherry and plum speak directly to the reduction; smoke on smoke |
