DOMINUS ESTATE, 2013 napa valley california 550 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.
