DOMINUS 2015, Napa

"The 2015 Dominus is a flawless, perfect wine as well as a legend in the making. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petite Verdot and the rest Cabernet Franc, from dry-farmed vines and brought up in 40% new French oak, its ruby/purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of blackcurrants, creme de cassis, damp earth, smoke tobacco and spring flowers. Reminding me of the 2015 Chateau Margaux with its incredible mix of elegance and power, this beauty his the palate with full-bodied richness, stunning purity of fruit, building tannins, and an awesome length. Reviewed January 2019. Jeb Dunnuck" "100pts! - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Bottled in July 2017 and composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the Dominus 2015 Proprietary Red Wine leaps from the glass with notes of fresh wild blueberries, crushed blackberries and black currant juice with touches of wild thyme, underbrush, iron ore and aniseed with wafts of lavender and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has incredible energy and vivacity, with the firm, pixelated tannins and lively backbone skillfully framing the muscular fruit, finishing with wonderful length and depth."
