RATINGS

91Robert M. Parker Jr.

...full-bodied effort with notes of black currants, heady glycerin levels, and more toasty oak in the background...

91Wine Spectator

Aromas of roasted herb, sage, dried berry, cedar and cigar box give this full-bodied red a nice Bordeaux-like scent.

90Stephen Tanzer

Captivating aromas of rose petal, red licorice and minerals.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Yountville

Yountville AVA is just west of Stags Leap and north of Oak Knoll. It is centered around the town of Yountville, named for George Yountville, who planted the area’s first vineyard in 1836. The district received appellation status in 1999 and it includes 4,000 vineyard acres. It is known for tannic Cabernet Sauvignon that has a reputation for aging well. Dominus Estate, formerly Napanook Vineyard, is one of the most prestigious producers in Yountville, and in all of Napa Valley.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
