Dominus Estate Dominus Cabernet Blend, Napa Valley

Christian Moueix — the Pomerol genius behind Pétrus — brought his philosophy to Napa with Dominus, and the result is among the valley's most intellectually serious wines. Made from the historic Napanook vineyard in Yountville, it combines Old World restraint with New World ripeness in a way that few Napa wines achieve. The Jean Herzog-designed winery — gabion walls of local stone — is as distinctive as the wine inside it. Dominus is Napa for those who find most Napa too much.
