Dominus 2012 is a Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blend comprising 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. The wine reflects the heat of the 2012 vintage without excessive hot spells, allowing for balanced ripeness. Christian Moueix oversees the winery, which sits on the historic Napanook vineyard. This wine exhibits a dark, concentrated colour and a bouquet of blackcurrant, subtle oak and herbal notes. With a restrained approach to new oak (40%), Dominus 2012 is structured for both early consumption and extended cellaring potential.
100 Vinous
The 2012 Dominus is a wild, exotic wine. Harvest began on October 9 and finished on the 21st, very late by present-day standards. Ripe red cherry, kirsch, cinnamon, rose petal, incense and rose petal soar out of the glass. Deep and vibrant, with terrific freshness, Dominus is very clearly one of the wines of the year. I loved the 2012 from barrel, but found it quite closed after bottling. Now, after all these years, I finally see the realization of the potential suggested in my barrel tastings.

The exuberance and drama in the stunning nose of the dense plum-colored 2012 Dominus offers up notes of Asian spice, ripe, black currants, kirsch, tobacco leaf and Christmas fruitcake. It is full-bodied and opulent, with no hard edges, a seamless integration of acidity, wood and tannin and a density and richness that are built to go on for 25-30 years.Robert Parker30th October 2015

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.
