Decanter, January 2024

Superbly aromatic, polished, and balanced. Tannins are plump, pliant, and extremely long, with a beautiful velvety quality. Ripe blackberry, spiced plums, and black cherry fruits are super-expressive and imbued with this...

Known for its complexity and balance, Dominus demonstrates the potential of a wine produced on the exceptional terroir of the Napanook vineyard. Structured, seamless and perfectly integrated, this is an elegant wine that only improves with age. Bunches are hand-sorted, complemented by optical scanning to ensure only the highest quality grapes are used, gently pressed at low-pressure, and fermented in separate lots before resting in 100% French oak.

It is recommended to decant Dominus prior to serving, to allow it to develop its full potential, particularly when consuming young vintages.

The 2021 Dominus Proprietary Red Wine is an exquisite blend that pays a grand tribute to its Californian pedigree.

The North Coast region of California is renowned for its idyllic grape-growing conditions, and this wine is a testament to the terroir's potency.

On the palate, this wine does not disappoint. It carries a depth and finesse that comes from careful aging, a balance of flavors that dance on the tongue and leave a memorable finish. The harmony of the blend is evident in every sip, showcasing the producer's prowess in wine crafting.
