A client relocating to the US and wanting to pair down his collection. He began to seriously purchase wine in 2006 after a trip to France. He and his wife's taste moved west and they fell in love with Stags Leap District and began to focus on high end, iconic Californian wine. The majority was purchased through Roger and Co, with a little coming from the LCBO and trip purchases. The bottles were meticulously stored in a bespoke home wine cellar under temperature and humidity control.

The score for 2013 Dominus Estate Napa Valley 30th Vintage is 100 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2013 Dominus is, to my way of thinking, one of the most profound wines Christian Moueix has yet made in his rather brilliant winemaking history, both in France and in Napa Valley. This wine, with very low yields of only 3,500 cases and a final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, offers up notes of cedar wood, forest floor, loamy soil and oodles of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Very opaque purple in color, super-pure and intense, this wine has low acidity, but ripe, noticeable tannins. This is a 30- to 40-year wine and a profound effort from this famous vineyard in Yountville. Drink it over the next 40+ years.
