Go Big With Dominus

 

The Saint-Emilion & Pomerol mastermind, Christian Moueix, has been working at the  legendary Yountville's Napanook Vineyard for over 25 years. Today, we are offering incredible large formats that will make your next event one everyone will remember! 

Imagine you are having an event and you need a wine for everyone to enjoy but you have Napa drinkers and Bordeaux drinkers attending. However, you want everyone to drink the same wine. Well, Dominus would be the perfect play as the style isn't the over the top ripeness that you will find from other producers. The wine shows incredible depth and structure that tips the cap to Bordeaux while maintaining that Napa Valley "flare"

Do not miss the 2015 6.0L that Jeb Dunnuck said this "Dominus is a flawless, perfect wine as well as a legend in the making. " (JD100).

 

 

 

 

1992 Dominus 

"The 1992 Dominus is similar in style to the 1990. It exhibits an open knit, opulent, rich, easy-going character with gorgeous levels of earthy, cassis fruit intertwined with scents of herbs, coffee, and chocolate/mocha ice cream. Rich and full-bodied, with thick, viscous flavors and low acidity, this is a forward, exceptionally concentrated, easy to understand Dominus that should drink well for 20 years." -95 Pts Robert Parker

 

2015 Dominus 

"The 2015 Dominus is a flawless, perfect wine as well as a legend in the making. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot and the rest Cabernet Franc, from dry-farmed vines and brought up in just 40% new French oak, its ruby/purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of blackcurrants, crème de cassis, damp earth, smoke tobacco, and spring flowers. Reminding me of the 2015 Château Margaux with its incredible mix of elegance and power, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, stunning purity of fruit, building tannins, and awesome length. This sensational textured and voluptuous Dominus drink well today yet will evolve for 25-30 years or more." -100 Pts Jeb Dunnuck

 

2018 Dominus 

"The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot brought up in 40% new French oak. With an essence of Cabernet like character in its darker currants, green tobacco, cedar, graphite, and floral aromas and flavors, this gorgeous wine is full-bodied and has bright yet integrated acidity, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s just gorgeously put together and a magical, flawless wine. It’s going to take a decade to hit maturity but will evolve for 40-50 years in cold cellars. It is as good as it gets in classic, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon!" -100 Pts Jeb Dunnuck

 

2019 Dominus 

"The 2019 Dominus is blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, aged in 40% new French oak. Impressively dark-hued in the glass, it yields scents of cherries and cassis on the nose—or is it black cherries and redcurrants? Subtle notes of mocha, pencil shavings and almost Graves-like earthiness wind through the concentrated, medium to full-bodied palate, giving it a sense of savory gravitas, while the finish is silky and long, leaving a lingering residue of soft tannins and mouthwatering freshness." -98 Pts Robert Parker
