"A classy Napa Cabernet Sauvignon produced from the younger vines at the famed Napanook vineyard. Full bodied, juicy and rich with lots of dark fruit, chocolate, nicely integrated oak and a hint of spice. 2013 is considered one of the finest vintages in the region over the last decade. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot."
Dominus Estate, Yountville, California, was established in 1983 by Christian Moueix. Situated on the famed Napanook vineyard, it was, in the 1940's and 1950's, the source of fruit for some of the finest Napa Valley wines. In fact, the vineyard's history can be traced back to Napa Valley's beginnings, when in 1838 George Yount, for whom the town of Yountville was named, first planted grapevines there. The vineyard is entirely dry-farmed, allowing the vines to draw deeply on the land's unique geology. The viticulture and winemaking are undertaken meticulously, with the objective of producing wines that are pure, balanced and complex.
