NAPA VALLEY.
THE 2019 DOMINUS IS BLEND OF 90% CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 6% PETIT VERDOT AND 4% CABERNET FRANC, AGED IN 40% NEW FRENCH OAK. IMPRESSIVELY DARK-HUED IN THE GLASS, IT YIELDS SCENTS OF CHERRIES AND CASSIS ON THE NOSE—OR IS IT BLACK CHERRIES AND REDCURRANTS? SUBTLE NOTES OF MOCHA, PENCIL SHAVINGS AND ALMOST GRAVES-LIKE EARTHINESS WIND THROUGH THE CONCENTRATED, MEDIUM TO FULL-BODIED PALATE, GIVING IT A SENSE OF SAVORY GRAVITAS, WHILE THE FINISH IS SILKY AND LONG, LEAVING A LINGERING RESIDUE OF SOFT TANNINS AND MOUTHWATERING FRESHNESS.

DOMINUS ESTATE 2013 (OWC)
NAPA VALLEY.
THIS SPECIAL LABEL WAS DESIGNED FOR THEIR 30TH VINTAGE. TASTING NOTE STARTS HERE: THE 2013 DOMINUS IS, TO MY WAY OF THINKING, ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUND WINES CHRISTIAN MOUEIX HAS YET MADE IN HIS RATHER BRILLIANT WINEMAKING HISTORY, BOTH IN FRANCE AND IN NAPA VALLEY. THIS WINE, WITH VERY LOW YIELDS OF ONLY 3,500 CASES AND A FINAL BLEND OF 89% CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 7% PETIT VERDOT AND 4% CABERNET FRANC, OFFERS UP NOTES OF CEDAR WOOD, FOREST FLOOR, LOAMY SOIL AND OODLES OF BLACKBERRY AND BLACKCURRANT FRUIT. VERY OPAQUE PURPLE IN COLOR, SUPER-PURE AND INTENSE, THIS WINE HAS LOW ACIDITY, BUT RIPE, NOTICEABLE TANNINS. THIS IS A 30- TO 40-YEAR WINE AND A PROFOUND EFFORT FROM THIS FAMOUS VINEYARD IN YOUNTVILLE. DRINK IT OVER THE NEXT 40+ YEARS. OCTOBER 2015 DRINK: 2015-2055 WA 100 JS 100
