Dominus Estate Napanook Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

$79.99

Dominus' second label, the Napanook is a great opportunity to try the Dominus magic at a fraction of the price.  Drink this beauty while the Dominus is aging in the cellar. 96 Points James Suckling:  "This is a flamboyant red that offers hazelnuts, dark berries and a hint of chocolate. Full-bodied with round and soft tannins. So fresh. So rich, enticing and layered." 93 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Moving to the 2016s, this was a more abundant year for this estate and the vintage was compared to 2006 by the winemakers. The 2016 Napanook is another terrific wine and has a more elegant, pretty, seamless style than the 2015, with the purity of the 2016 vintage front and center. Classic red and blue fruits, spring flowers, and tobacco leaf notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced red that will keep for 10-15 years."

Not Dominus but damn good. Not quite the extra level and maybe not $80 but I wish I had waited a few years to try this because I’m sure it will develop some complexity. Great with steak today but just not multidimensional today

This historic vineyard really produces pleasant and expressive wines. Medium bodied with pretty aromas, a seamless texture and fresh finish. Flowers, currants, orange peel, dark cherries, black tea, cinnamon, tobacco and earth. Ready to drink now.

Nice new world cab-driven Bordeaux style. A bit of spice with dark berry flavors.

Not for the price $79. Somewhat jammy initial but a nice currant finish.
