2013 Dominus Estate Napa Valley from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 100 points, The Wine Advocate 100 points, James Suckling 100 points, Decanter 100 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2013 Dominus Estate Napa Valley from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. 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. 2013 Dominus Estate Napanook Napa Valley from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 100 points, The Wine Advocate 100 points, James Suckling 100 points, Decanter 100 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2013 Dominus Estate Napanook Napa Valley from Robert Parker - with a score of 93 points. There are 2,000 cases of the 2013 Napanook Proprietary Red Wine, a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. This wine reflects the much higher quality that’s emerging with the second wine of Dominus, which has really become almost its own entity. Loads of loamy soil notes, grilled herbs, meat, blackcurrants, sweet kirsch and licorice are all present in this medium to full-bodied, lush, sexy wine, even in 2013. It is interesting how much more evolved and forward the 2013 Napanook is compared to the 2013 Dominus. This wine can be drunk over the next 12-15 years. In any event, both merit considerable attention from subscribers.
