Owned by French winemaker Christian Moueix, Dominus Estate spans approximately 124 acres of vineyards in the Napa Valley. Focused on crafting Bordeaux-style wines, the winery is celebrated for its flagship wine, Dominus, which was first produced in 1983. Released in June 2008, the 2006 vintage is a blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The nose suggests aromas of dark berries, blond tobacco, black cherries, and cacao notes. The palate leads with black fruits and liquorice, complemented by perfectly ripe tannins.
94 Vinous
Bright red-ruby. Lovely floral lift contributes precision to the aromas of raspberry, rose petal and licorice. Sweet, high-pitched and sharply delineated; velvety but not thick. There's a juicy quality to the ripe red fruit, mineral and graphite flavors, not to mention a firm underlying spine, that promises a long and positive evolution in bottle. Quite young but not austere, finishing with building tannins and lovely lift. The lingering perfume of red fruits, pepper, flowers and licorice is unusually complex. A really superb 2006, seemingly every bit as good as the sensational 2005.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2009

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.
