Napanook 2014 shows a poised, quietly powerful character, layering blackcurrant and plum fruit over notes of cigar box, dried herbs, graphite and warm stone. The palate is medium to full-bodied yet refined, with firm but polished tannins and a savory, peppery edge that gives the wine both seriousness and drinkability now, with clear potential to gain further nuance in bottle.

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.”
