RATINGS

94James Suckling

...firm and silky red with dark berry, cherry and spice character. Full body. Integrated and beautiful fruit. Savory finish.

93The Wine Advocate

...intensely scented of red and black plums, cassis and mulberries with touches of earth, cinnamon stick, pencil shavings, yeast extract and menthol. With a great muscular core, firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, it finishes long and earthy.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Yountville

Yountville AVA is just west of Stags Leap and north of Oak Knoll. It is centered around the town of Yountville, named for George Yountville, who planted the area’s first vineyard in 1836. The district received appellation status in 1999 and it includes 4,000 vineyard acres. It is known for tannic Cabernet Sauvignon that has a reputation for aging well. Dominus Estate, formerly Napanook Vineyard, is one of the most prestigious producers in Yountville, and in all of Napa Valley.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
