Energy and depth define Dominus Estate Napanook 2013, a Cabernet-led blend that layers blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry with notes of warm soil, grilled herbs and a touch of citrus lift. The palate is concentrated yet beautifully composed, with firm, finely textured tannins and a long, savory finish that shows both power and poise. This is a serious, ageworthy “second wine” that already impresses but will reward patience with even greater nuance and harmony.

Napanook by Dominus Estate is the estate’s more approachable Cabernet Sauvignon–based Bordeaux blend from the historic, dry-farmed Napanook vineyard in Yountville, Napa Valley, crafted for earlier drinking than the flagship Dominus yet still capable of a decade or more of aging. Typically combining Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it emphasizes vibrant dark fruit, smooth, polished tannins, and a medium‑bodied, food‑friendly structure that expresses “Napa terroir with Bordeaux spirit.”
