About this wine
Dominus is a Bordeaux-style blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, from the Napanook vineyard near Yountville. It is more restrained than many Napa reds, with dark fruit, firm tannins and an earthy, savoury edge. It needs time in bottle and ages well for twenty years or more.
About Dominus
Dominus Estate is the Napa Valley property of Christian Moueix, whose family was long associated with Château Pétrus in Pomerol. The first vintage was 1983, and the estate is based on the historic Napanook vineyard near Yountville, which Moueix first farmed in partnership before becoming sole owner.
Its winery, designed by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and completed in the late 1990s, is built of local stone held in wire cages. Dominus makes one grand vin each year, with a second wine named Napanook, and is valued for its restrained, Bordeaux-like style.
