RATINGS

94James Suckling

Wonderful aromas of black fruits, bark and moss follow through to full body, ultra-refined tannins and a long and caressing finish. Shows energy and translucence.

94Wine Enthusiast

Tight-grained tannins lie beneath a sleek, sophisticated structure... Intensely layered, it shows wisps of currant, pencil shavings and anise—seasonings for a lush backdrop of brambly blackberry.

92-95Robert M. Parker Jr.

...spectacular. Stunning richness, great color, loads of flavor and layers of intensity and richness balanced together in a full-bodied format...

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.
