Description
Dominus Estate by Christian Moueix Napa Valley 2014
The Wine Advocate
“The 2014 Dominus Estate, which is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot really strut its stuff. Moueix’s belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent, layered, multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedarwood, tobacco leaf, spice box, and licorice. The color is a dense plum/ruby/purple, much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously – as most 2014s are – and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years.”

Decanter
“An initially reticent bouquet opens in the decanter and glass to reveal notes of blackberry, rich spice, tobacco leaf, elderberry and lily pollen. On the palate, fine, powdery tannins frame an elegant, deep wine with a lovely core of cool fruit. This will require some time in the cellar to reveal all its potential.”
