The Dominus 1992 is a complex Napa red blend, primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the maturity of the Napanook Vineyard`s 124 acres. The nose presents earthy undertones alongside prominent cassis, with nuances of herbs and subtle coffee. On the palate, the wine delivers a rich, full-bodied experience with thick flavours and pliant tannins, typical of Christian Moueix’s style. Known for its Pomerol-like texture, this wine should continue mature gracefully over the coming decade or more.

The 1992 Dominus has a strict and (unsurprisingly) very Bordeaux-like nose with fine definition, tobacco, melted road tar and graphite emerging almost reluctantly with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a grainy structure, a bit "gruff" perhaps, good depth with just a touch of dryness towards the finish. Perhaps just a little more rigidity than I would have preferred, but this continues to drink well. Tasted at the "Judgement of Clapham Junction" dinner in London. Neal Martin1st March 2022

A First Growth in Napa

Along with Opus One, Dominus is one of the greatest examples of applying the Bordelais approach to winemaking to the great vineyards of the Napa Valley. Grapes are sourced from Yountville, specifically the historic Napanook vineyard, from which the winery's second wine takes its name.

The 'Grand Vin' is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot - a classic Bordeaux blend. After vinification, around 30% of the wine is loaded into new oak barrels for 15 months before bottling. Initial releases of Dominus met with mixed reviews, but since the late 1990s, the winery has established itself as one of the greatest in America.
