Dominus Estate Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2006 (1500ml)

$569

There are 6,500 cases of the superb 2006 Dominus (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot). Its dark plum/purple color is accompanied by aromas and flavors of truffles, forest floor, black cherries, black currants, and Asian spices. One of the finest wines of the vintage, it is complete, full-bodied, and seamlessly built with beautiful ripe tannins, low acidity, and a luscious, layered mouthfeel. The aromatics are even more evolved and complex than the 2005's. The 2006 should drink well for 20-25 years. Robert Parker

Graceful yet powerful…black and blueberry, menthol, vanilla spice, lead pencil, slight jalapeño, mocha, brick color, acid diminished, tannins super smooth and finishes like cali cab…fruit forward and lush…cork fell apart but wine fortunately did not…

Definitely should have given this at least 24 hours to open. Way too young to drink. Don't open unless it's 15 years or older. These wines can age 70 to 100 years. So they say.

2006 in 2017. Great Brdx style blend. Dark and dense. It struck me that after a decade it doesn't taste like its aged a day.

I love this wine for its elegance. Flavored unfold seamlessly with no tannins to speak of. Just love it.

It's excellent, obviously, but I cannot connect with all this hype. Disclaimer: I'm a California ignorant kinda guy.

Still drinks incredibly young. Lots of life still within this one. Like fine Bordeaux in its delivery of minerality and earthy complexities that is severely lacking in Napa.
