Dominus Estate Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007
...A prodigious example of Dominus, the 2007 represents a hypothetical blend of a Pomerol, Pauillac, and a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby/purple-colored with a sweet nose of incense, cedar wood, black currants, black cherries, licorice, and a subtle hint of roasted herbs, it is an expansive, savory, opulent wine with a full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and sensational concentration. A legend in the making, it should evolve for 25-30 years, possibly longer given the fact that his vintages from the early eighties are still going strong, and the wines today are better made given Moueix-s Napa experience and the estate winery he did not have 25 years ago.

#AgedWineTuesday Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Strong nose of black fruits, cedar, spices, chocolates, coffee, licorice, light vanilla and black pepper. Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with black currants, cooked cherries, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, cedar, earth, dark chocolates, licorice, cola, spices, vegetables, herbs and black pepper. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. This 17 year old Napa Cabernet Sauvignon feels more like a Left Bank Bordeaux. Fruit forward with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Showing great complexity and delicious, but I expected more from this great 2007 vintage. I had the 2001 not too long ago, and it was so much better. Nicely balanced and good by itself or with food. A good food wine too. A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. 14.1% alcohol by volume. 93 points. $350.

Still lively and bright despite the ripeness. Very pure black currant and black cherry, quite gentle tannins. Truly a delight.

A beautiful wine. Just perfect to drink with a filet and port wine reduction. Perfectly balanced with a touch of fruit on the finish and lingering touches of spice ( pepper) and aged coffee. Just delicious but think I will start to drink. Only with good friends. Yea

Trial stars dinner Friday night. This is probably the best Dominus I've had other than the legendary '91 and '94. Elegant, lush beauty.
