Description

Dominus Estate Napanook 2021
USA / California

A powerful, complex Napa Valley blend: The 2021 Napanook displays intense aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, and Morello cherries, alongside graphite, tobacco leaf, pencil lead, and forest floor. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a velvety texture, dense fruit body, and very well-integrated, firm tannins. The overall impression is elegant yet distinctive – a grand Californian Cabernet blend with a Bordeaux spirit.

Dominus Estate

In the late 1960s, while studying at the University of California, Christian Moueix, a respected winemaker from Bordeaux, fell in love with Napa Valley and its wines.

After his studies, he returned home to manage the family estates, including Château Pétrus. His love for Napa Valley remained, and in 1981 he discovered the historic Napanook vineyard, which in the 1940s and 1950s had supplied grapes for some of Napa Valley’s finest wines.

He took it over together with his cousin, oenologist Jean-Claude Berrout.

The vineyards cover 50 hectares, some of which are still planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc dating back to 1880. These are the oldest vines in Napa County.

Today, the wines of Dominus Estate are known for their elegance, complexity and finesse. Alongside the world-famous ‘Dominus’, wines such as ‘Napanook’ and ‘Othello’ are also produced and are likewise highly regarded.
