The wine is bottled from the historic Napanook Vineyard. Located at the foothills of the Mayacamas, the vineyard was planted in 1838 and continues to evolve under the stewardship of Christian Moueix. The estate's Bordeaux varietals benefit from the Yountville microclimate where temperatures are moderated by cool breezes from the San Pablo Bay. The resulting wine is a uniquely refined expression of this special terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage is seductive and deep with notes of cedar, oriental spices, wild berry, and cocoa, followed by a finely etched finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e99James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlack currant, pencil shaving, subtle sandalwood, wet earth, forest floor and violet aromas follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate with ultra-fine tannins that integrate perfectly at the end. A polished and caressing texture that goes on for minutes. The balance and drinkability of this Dominus is terrific, and it will age beautifully. A blend of 87% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. From organically grown grapes. Very drinkable now, but will age beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e97Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot and aged 20 months in 40% new French oak, the 2023 Dominus is absolutely gorgeous, with an incredible level of purity and refinement. Cassis, graphite, crushed stone, melted crayons, and floral nuances all define the aromatics. It's medium to full-bodied, with seamless, refined elegance, ultra-fine tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. This more charming, forward, and seductive style of Dominus will offer incredible appeal over the next 20-25 years or more. Drink 2025-2050.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e96Vinous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Dominus is a very pretty, surprisingly open-knit wine from this estate. Soft contours wrap around a core of pliant red\/purplish fruit. Lavender, rose petal and gently spiced overtones caress the mid-palate and finish. I expect the 2023 will drink well with minimal cellaring, something that is rarely the case here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dominus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51332608786656,"sku":"131770","price":297.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/dominus-dominus-christian-moueix_1_5b137564-6015-4089-8499-043ce289a3c2.jpg?v=1775165893","url":"https:\/\/yianniswinery.com\/products\/dominus-christian-moueix-2023-750ml","provider":"Yiannis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
