Located in Yountville within the Napa Valley AVA, Dominus is a wine estate producing Bordeaux-style blends. The estate was founded in 1983 by Christian Moueix, who is also the owner of Château Pétrus in the Pomerol region of Bordeaux. The vineyard was originally planted in 1838 by George C. Yount, for whom the town of Yountville was named. Released in June 2022, the 2019 vintage is a blend composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. The wine reveals its charms gradually, unfurling notes of sweet tobacco, marjoram, and jasmine. These enticing aromas pave the way to a core of iron-infused richness and luscious black plum, which resonate on the palate.

Vinous
The 2019 Dominus is shockingly primary. A wine of tremendous density and power, the 2019 is also a wine for readers who can be patient, as it won't be ready to drink for another 10-15 years! Dark fruit, leather, tobacco, incense, dried herbs and scorched earth lend striking complexity. The 2019 is a huge wine that needs time to come into its own. This is impressive, to say the least.Antonio Galloni1st February 2023

Dominus Estate
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.
