RATINGS

93Robert M. Parker Jr.

Reveals pure crème de cassis, chocolate, espresso and a touch of new barrique. It was aged 20 months in 75% new French oak,...With sweet tannin, a delicious, elegant suppleness, and a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel,

93Vinous / IWC

Extroverted and powerful to the core... impresses for its balance. There is plenty of energy and overall structure to balance the intense, rich fruit. Dark red and black cherries, plums, smoke, tobacco and spice notes wrap around the palate

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

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.
