The historic Napanook Vineyard, a 124-acre site west of Yountville, was planted in 1838. This vineyard was the source of fruit for some of the finest Napa Valley wines. Estate-bottled in the spirit of the Bordeaux châteaux, Dominus Estate is dry-farmed to allow natural stress and good concentration of fruit. Grape clusters are crop-thinned to allow sun and air to pass in between, helping to achieve full maturation and soften the tannins. Only 20% to 40% new French oak barrels are used in order to limit the extraction of oak notes. To express the unique terroir, the classic Bordeaux grape varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are planted with different root stocks best suited for the varying soil composition of gravel, heavy clay and loam.

Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot

Critic Ratings

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 97+:
Wine Advocate notes that strict selection reduced the 2017 crop to roughly half of normal, producing a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Potpourri, forest floor, crushed rock, tea, licorice, blackcurrant, chocolate-covered cherry, mulberry, and preserved plum create a layered profile. The full-bodied palate combines quiet intensity with firm yet plush tannins and a long, earthy finish.

James Suckling Review - Rated 97:
James Suckling finds intense but nuanced fruit aromas led by blue fruit, blackberry, licorice, flowers, and perfume. The palate is full-bodied, round, and chewy, adding black tea, currant, leather, incense, and coffee. Exceptional length and energy carry the wine through an exciting finish.

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 96:
Wine Enthusiast highlights a classically structured blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Dried herbs, cedar, and clove lead into a palate that balances rich fruit and dense oak with underlying freshness and longevity. Grippy but seamless tannins are beginning to soften, with a recommended window of 2027–2037.
