RATINGS

96Wine Spectator

A gorgeous effort, rich, juicy, plush, polished, refined and distinctive. Seductive from the initial aromas to the last sip, with gobs of currant, blackberry, melted licorice, spice and light mocha.

95Robert M. Parker Jr.

The wine has plenty of cedary, Christmas fruitcake notes intermixed with licorice, blackcurrants, dusty/earthy undertones and a touch of background smoke and oak.

91Vinous / IWC

Dark cherry, smoke, leather, licorice and tobacco flesh out nicely in the glass to give the wine attractive nuance.

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.
